Highway Blues
Troublemakers Lyrics

(Turn around)
The singer is asking someone to turn around

Every now and then I get a little bit lonely And you're never coming 'round
Sometimes the singer feels lonely and misses someone who never comes around

Every now and then I get a little bit tired Of listening to the sound of my tears
The singer gets tired of crying and listening to their own tears

Every now and then I get a little bit nervous That the best of all the years have gone by
The singer gets nervous that the best years of their life have already passed

Every now and then I get a little bit terrified And then I see the look in your eyes
The singer gets scared, but then they see comfort in the look of someone's eyes

(Turn around bright eyes) Every now and then I fall apart
The singer asks someone to turn around and admits that they fall apart sometimes

Every now and then I get a little bit restless And I dream of something wild
The singer gets restless and dreams of something exciting

Every now and then I get a little bit helpless And I'm lying like a child in your arms
Sometimes the singer feels helpless and seeks comfort by being held like a child

Every now and then I get a little bit angry And I know I have to get out and cry
Sometimes the singer gets angry and needs to leave and cry

And I need you now tonight And I need you more than ever And if you only hold me tight We'll be holding on forever And we'll only be making it right 'Cause we'll never be wrong
The singer needs someone to be with them, hold them, and make things right, assuring that they can never be wrong

Together we can take it to the end of the line Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (All of the time) I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks I really need you tonight Forever's gonna start tonight (Forever's gonna start tonight)
Together, the singer feels like they can go to the end of the line, but they always feel like they're in the dark. They realize that they're living in a dangerous situation, but they need someone for tonight, and that tonight will be the start of forever

Once upon a time I was falling in love Now I'm only falling apart There's nothing I can do A total eclipse of the heart
The singer used to be in love but now feels like they're falling apart, and they can't do anything about it. It's like a total blackout for their heart

Once upon a time there was light in my life But now there's only love in the dark Nothing I can say A total eclipse of the heart
There used to be happiness in their life, but now there's only love in the dark. The singer feels like they can't say anything about it, and it's like a total eclipse of the heart

(Turn around bright eyes Turn around bright eyes)
The singer repeats their request to turn around

Every now and then I know you'll never be the boy You always wanted to be
The singer knows that someone they care about will never be the person they have always wanted to be

But every now and then I know you'll always be the only boy Who wanted me the way that I am
Despite this, the singer knows that this person will always love them for who they are

Every now and then I know there's no one in the universe As magical and wondrous as you
The singer believes that the person they're talking to is magical and one of a kind

Every now and then I know there's nothing any better There's nothing that I just wouldn't do
The singer knows that nothing can be better than the person they're talking to, and they would do anything for them

(Turn around bright eyes) Every now and then I fall apart
The singer repeats that they fall apart sometimes
