Knew We Were Trouble
Mr Hudson Lyrics

The way you look at me
Your gaze towards me has a form of nostalgia, as though we were characters in an old black and white film set in the past.

Could be in an old film in black and white
Your appearance and style seem to belong to an old time back when movies were made in black and white.

But your hair's too short and your jeans too tight
Your clothing choices and modern haircut contrast with the vintage feel of your look and give it an edgier touch.

Maybe we should let them know
Perhaps we should reveal our secret to everyone and put an end to our hiding game.

I just knew we were trouble when we first met
From the moment we collided, something within me sensed that you were going to be the cause of chaos and conflict in my life.

So long ago, it was so long ago
Although it might seem like an eternity now, that fateful meeting happened a while ago.

I watch you in the dark
As I observe you whilst everything else is immersed in darkness, I cannot help but feel the deep emotions I have towards you.

The alarm clock light flash across your face
As the alarm blinks across your features, it throws a brief but quick illumination across your face in which I could not help but look at.

I wonder who one day's gonna take my place
I entertain the notion of the existence of someone else who might someday come into your life and displace my current position in your heart.

I wrote another song
I channeled all those emotions that I have into another song that I hope you'll understand me better by.

For you, for you
I wrote this song specifically for you because you have a role in these emotions that I can't hold myself back from feeling.

Reminding you, you better leave me alone
Warning you that you would be better off not getting romantically involved with me.

Just get with that boy down in Marylebone
It's better that you just get involved with someone local in Marylebone rather than me.

The one with the skateboard and the baseball cap
Someone from her area that is easily identifiable with this teenager look carries certain interest attributes.

And the mother in west London with a three-bedroom flat
This person lives with their mum in West London, which makes them more affordable and accessible.

I'm just a boy from Birmingham, another impostor
I am just an ordinary guy who happens to record music, and you really don't want to get into a romantic relationship with someone you might not be compatible with.

On a major label roster, how did I get here? No fear.
Composed with no fear of admitting his good fortune on being a member of a major label artist roster.

How did I get here?
Asking the way he arrived at his present status?

No fear, how did I get here?
That despite being unsure of how he came to where he is, he is not afraid of facing new challenges and taking risks.

Was so long ago, it was so long ago
To reinforce the idea that the events and emotions expressed in that phase of his life were so far removed in time, like another world.
