Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Persistant dreams at night

I am fully aware

there's gonna be a fight

Now rest your head,

calm down

Now lay your body

next to mine

Boy have I gotten myself

into trouble?

Boy have I gotten myself

into trouble?

Perfection lies

in a dark dark place

The kids once they told me

I am just trouble

Now give me your hand

this time

Replace your body

with mine

Boy I've been waiting around

for a while

Boy I've been waiting around

for a while

Frustration takes

me to a bad bad place

They all try to tell me

I am just trouble

Let go of my hands now,

it's time

Get out of my head,

there's gonna be a fight

Boy have I gotten myself

into trouble

Boy have I gotten myself

into trouble

Boy have I gotten myself

Boy have I gotten myself

Boy have I gotten myself

into trouble

It's what I need

It's what I need

It's what I need
