Well, well, well! Elbow sure knows how to stir up a whirlpool of emotions. "My Trouble" is a poignant love letter to an absent lover. It's all about the sweet agony of missing someone deeply and yearning for their presence. The lyrics are filled with vivid imagery - mist lifting with a kiss, oceans of tea, years of TV - that beautifully capture the mundane yet profound moments in life that become empty without our beloved. The repeated plea "come get me" is both desperate and romantic; it's like saying 'I'm lost without you.' The song also touches on the inevitability of growing old together, promising to cherish each line time etches on them. So grab your tissues folks, this one's a tearjerker!
