Trouble

Whenever I'm alone I feel your ghost
Your presence is known, I already know too much
What you did in your past life is no business of mine
I would join you and all, but I'm starting to tell we'll be fine

Can't be left alone
We were barely home
I could tell by the look on your face
You were trouble
Taking step by step

It was something you said and
Then you lean into me
How didn't I see?
You were trouble
And I'm unlovable

Looking back
I think that I loved you too much
I was tearing you apart
Right from the start
We were destined to fail

I don't know where to begin
Look at the trouble I'm in
I could've avoided this mess
If I'd wanted you less
But you got me all to yourself

Well, perhaps there is a simple answer, not an easy answer
You and I have a rendezvous with destiny
We'll preserve for our children this
The last best hope of man on Earth

Or we'll sentence them to take the last step
Into a thousand years of darkness
We will keep in mind and remember
That Barry Goldwater has faith in us

He has faith that you and I have the ability and the dignity
And the right to make our own decisions
And determine our own destiny
