Trouble’s Coming Lyrics
I gave my knuckles a run for their money
Spider web cracks on the mirror
I see someone but not somebody
If I could, then I would
If I could, then I would
If I could
[Verse 2]
I let my demons take hold and choke on me
Can't fill these holes that I'm digging
Can't stop my heart when it's sinking
But if I could, then I would
If I could, then I would
If I could
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could, you don't think I would pretend
Trouble's coming but I still don't know when
That's the voice that I can hear in my head
I hear it over and over again
[Chorus]
I hear trouble coming, I hear trouble coming
I hear trouble coming over and over again
I hear trouble coming, I hear trouble coming
I hear trouble coming over and over again
In my reflection, I see signs of psychosis
I try to pay them no attention
Can't keep them under the surface
If I could, then I would
If I could, then I would
If I could
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could, you don't think I would pretend
Trouble's coming but I still don't know when
That's the voice that I can hear in my head
I hear it over and over again
[Chorus]
I hear trouble coming, I hear trouble coming
I hear trouble coming over and over again
I hear trouble coming, I hear trouble coming
I hear trouble coming over and over again
[Bridge]
I can't wait forever
'Cause I don't have the time left to spend
Wishin' I was someone better
Wishin' I could start all over again
I hear trouble coming, I hear trouble coming
I hear trouble coming over and over again
I hear trouble coming, I hear trouble coming
I hear trouble coming over and over again
[Outro]
I hear trouble coming, I hear trouble coming
If I could, you don't think I would pretend
I hear trouble coming, I hear trouble coming
Trouble's coming but I still don't know when
I hear trouble coming, I hear trouble coming
That's the voice that I can hear in my head
I hear it over and over again
I hear trouble coming
I hear trouble coming
I hear trouble coming over and over again
I hear trouble coming
I hear trouble coming over and over again

Both band members shared their thoughts about “Trouble’s Coming” via press release.
Mike Kerr:
It was the moment something started to click – where we started playing over those much more rigid dance beats. The breakthrough was realising that there was real common ground between that and what we’d done before. It’s that AC/DC aspect: where the quality that makes the riffs seem so cutting is because of that beat.
Although on the surface we were stepping outside what we’d done before, it didn’t feel at all unnatural; it felt like we were returning to music we’d loved from the very beginning: Daft Punk, Justice, things that were really groove-orientated. It was all about the beat. It felt like familiar territory, but something we’d censored in ourselves.
Ben Thatcher:
When we first broke out, there were only two elements to the band. I didn’t just have to carry the beat, I’d have to colour in the changes. We were both bearing a lot of freight, sonically. But this was a different challenge; less varied, maybe, but so satisfying as a drummer.
