Trouble Again
Innocence Lost: Love's Perilous Dance in 'Trouble Again'
Lyrics
Well, I wake up in the night now,
Expressing waking up during the night
And don't you know I think of you?
Thinking about someone
It's the fire in your eyes,
Referring to the intensity and passion in the person's eyes
It keeps on cutting through
Describing the impact of the person's gaze
There's nowhere I can run to,
Feeling trapped or unable to escape
Can't seem to lose the thought of you
Unable to forget about the person
I never really was a bad girl,
Stating a past innocence or lack of trouble
But you got me in trouble again.
Acknowledging current trouble caused by the person
Well, I used to walk a straight line,
Referring to a past period of following a moral path
I knew what I was doing all the time.
Being confident in one's actions
There was nothing that could move me,
Emphasizing a strong and unyielding stance
I always held my ground.
Having a consistent and principled approach
But you got me where you want me,
Acknowledging vulnerability to the person's influence
And now you're always here to haunt me.
Constantly reminded or bothered by the person
I never really was a bad girl
Reiterating past innocence despite current troubles
But you got me in trouble again
Confirming current trouble caused by the person
I still remember how it felt
Recalling a positive memory of being embraced
When you put your arms around me
Describing the emotional impact of the embrace
But if I thought that you would love me
Realizing the love was not reciprocated
I was blind
Recognizing past naivety
But you got me where you want me
Acknowledging vulnerability to the person's influence
And now you're always here to haunt me
Continuing impact of the person on thoughts and emotions
I never really was a bad girl
Reiterating past innocence despite current troubles
But you got me in trouble again
Confirming current trouble caused by the person
Well, you think I would have learned by now,
Expressing a realization of repeated mistakes
And I'd keep away from you, somehow
Desiring to stay away from the person
Just like a little child,
Comparing oneself to a child who keeps returning for more
I keep coming back for more.
Continuing to be drawn to the person
But baby, when you called today,
Responding positively to the person's call
Don't you know that I'll come out and play
Willingness to engage despite past intentions
I never really was a bad girl,
Reiterating past innocence despite current troubles
But you got me in trouble again.
Confirming current trouble caused by the person
