Ray LaMontagne – Trouble Lyrics 18 years ago
I don't think the idea that some girl saved him is the only literal idea here. Read these lines:

"Trouble, feels like every time I get back on my feet
SHE come around and knock me down again
Worry, sometimes I swear it feels like THIS WORRY is MY ONLY FRIEND
Well I've been saved by a woman"

When I read it this way, I think that the character of trouble/worry is being personified to be the WOMAN that saves him. It's this idea that he's EMBRACED trouble/worry, and that it's the only thing that's been faithful to him ("since the day I was born . . . will not seem to live my mind alone . . . she won't let me go").

What do you think?
