The Trouble I’ve Been Looking For Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Crows in the trees
Spanish hotels on the sea
We wave goodbye
Airplanes draw swords in the sky

[Chorus]
I'm so rich and you're so bored
Are you the trouble I've been looking for?
You go out and you slam the door
Are you the trouble I've been looking for?

[Verse 2]
My eyes still burn
Whether you leave or return
The flowers bloom
When you walk into the room

[Chorus]
I'm so rich and you're so bored
Are you the trouble I've been looking for?
You go out and you slam the door
Are you the trouble I've been looking for?

[Verse 3]
You stole it all
And wrote my name on a wall
I've moved again
I've changed my name again
See The Magnetic Fields Live
Get tickets as low as $48
[Chorus]
I'm so rich and you're so bored
Are you the trouble I've been looking for?
You go out and you slam the door
Are you the trouble I've been looking for?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
