Their music is described as a casually-indefinable, artistic paradise of its own, built upon a bedrock of lush electronic tones and analog textures, stomp-and-clap guitars and heart-swelling vocals.
Troublemaker
Grizfolk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wouldn't let you down before I go
I woke up in a black haze
Tomorrow I'll be plowing through the snow
Your heart is strong, yeah, your back is made of gold
These lies don't work and these ties are getting old
Can I put you in my pocket and save you for later?
Cause you're too good to lose; you're the flavor I savor
Cause you're the trouble I want, you're my troublemaker
You're my troublemaker
You're my troublemaker
I chased you for a lifetime
If you leave me with a thrill I can't contain
With emptiness by my side
I'll always have a place to hide the pain
Your heart is strong, yeah, your back is made of gold
These lies don't work and these ties are getting old
Can I put you in my pocket and save you for later?
Cause you're too good to lose; you're the flavor I savor
Can I put you in my pocket and save you for later?
Cause you're the trouble I want, you're my troublemaker
You're my troublemaker
You're my troublemaker
The trouble in you is the trouble in me
The trouble in you is the trouble in me
I know it's trouble, I love it; if you give it, I take it
Cause you're the trouble I want, you're my troublemaker
Can I put you in my pocket and save you for later?
Cause you're too good to lose; you're the flavor I savor
Gonna put you in my pocket and save you for later
Cause you're the trouble I want, you're my troublemaker
Can I put you in my pocket and save you for later?
Cause you're too good to lose; you're the flavor I savor
Gonna put you in my pocket and save you for later
Cause you're the trouble I want, you're my troublemaker
