Alanis Morissette - I Was Hoping lyrics

as we were talking outside it was cold we were shivering yet warmed by
the
subject matter
my wife is in the next room we've been having troubles you know please
don't
tell her or anyone
but I need to talk to somebody
you said "Wouldn't it be a shame if I knew how great I was five
minutes before
I died I'd be filled
with such regret before I took my last breath" and I said "You're
willing to
tell me this now
and you're not going to die any time soon"
and I said I haven't been eating chicken or meat or anything and you
said yes
but you've been wearing leather and laughed and said we're at the top
of the
food chain
and yes you're still a fine woman I cringed
I was hoping I was hoping we could heal each other
I was hoping I was hoping we could be raw together
we left the restaurant where the head waiter (in his 60's) said
"good-bye sir
thank you for your business sir you're
successful and established sir and we like the frequency with which
you dine
here sir
and your money" and when I walked by they said "thank you too dear" I
was all
pigtails and cords
and there was a day when I would've said something like "hey dude I
could buy
and sell this place so kiss it"
I too once thought I was owed something
I was hoping I was hoping we could challenge each other
I was hoping I was hoping we could crack each other up
I too thought that when proved wrong I lost somehow
I too once thought life was cruel
It's a cycle really you think I'm withdrawing and guilt tripping you I
think
you're insensitive
and I don't feel heard and I said do you believe we are fundamentally
judgmental? Fundamentally evil?
and you said yes I said I don't believe in revenge in right or wrong
good or
bad you said
"well what about the man that I saw handcuffed in the emergency room
bleeding
after beating his kid
and she threw a shoe at his head.
I think what he did was wrong and I would've had a hard time feeling
compassion for him"
I had to watch my tone for fear of having you feel judged
I was hoping I was hoping we could dance together
I was hoping I was hoping we could be creamy together

Alanis Morissette - Excuses lyrics

Why no one will help me
I am too dumb I am too smart
They'll not understand me
I am lonely
They'll hate me
And there is not enough time
It's too hard to help me
And god wants me to work
No resting no lazy

These excuses how they served me so well
They've kept me safe
They've kept me stoic
They've kept me locked in my own cell

I'm too far from home
It takes far too much energy
And I cannot afford to
No one will ever see me

These excuses how they served me so well
They've kept me safe
They've kept me stoic
They've kept me locked inside my cell

These excuses how they're so familiar
They've kept me small
They've kept me blocked
They've kept me safe inside my shell

Bringing this into the light
Shakes their foundation
And it clears my side
Now my imagination
Is the only thing that limits
The bar that is raised to the heights

No one can have it all see
I have to they want me to
And I can't let them down
I'll never be happy

These excuses how they served me so well
They've kept me safe
They've kept me small
They've kept me locked inside my cell

These excuses how they're so familiar
They've kept me small
They've kept me stoic
They've kept me locked inside my cell

Alanis Morissette - Still lyrics

I am the harm which you inflict
I am your brilliance and frustration
I'm the nuclear bombs if they're to hit
I'm your immaturaty and your indignance

I am your misfits and your praised
I am your doubt and your conviction
I am your charity and your rape
I am your grasping and expectation

I see you averting your glances
I see you cheering on the war
I see you ignoring your children
And I love you still
And I love you still

I am your joy and your regret
I am your fury and your elation
I am your yearning and your sweat
I am your faithless and your religion

I see you altering history
I see you abusing the land
I see you and your selective amnesia
And I love you still
And I love you still

I am your tragedy and your fortune
I am your crisis and delight
I am your profits and your prophets
I am your art, I am your bytes

I am your death and your decisions
I am your passion and your plights
I am your sickness and convalescence
I am your weapons and your light

I see you holding your grudges
I see you gunning them down
I see you silencing your sisters
And I love you still
And I love you (still)

I see you lie to your country
I see you forcing them out
I see you blaming each other
And I love you still
And I love you still

Alanis Morissette - Everything (Radio Version) lyrics

I can be a nightmare of the grandest kind
I can withold like it's going out of style
I have the bravest heart that you’ve ever seen
And you’ve never met anyone whose
As positive as I am sometimes

Chorus:
You see everything
You see every part
You see all my light
And you love my dark
You dig everything
Of which time change
There’s not anything to
That you can’t relate
And you’re still here

I blame everyone else not my own part taking
My passive aggressiveness can be devastating
I’m the most gorgeous woman that you’ve ever known
And you never met anyone
As everything as I am sometimes

Chorus

But I resist, persist and speaks
None of them I know
But I resist you love no matter
How low or high I go

Chorus

You’re still here…..

Alanis Morissette - Wake Up lyrics

You like snow but only if it's warm
You like rain but only if it's dry
No sentimental value to the rose that fell on your floor
No fundamental excuse for the granted I'm taken for
Cause it's easy not to
So much easier not to
And what goes around never comes around to you
You like pain but only if it doesn't hurt too much
You sit...and you wait...to receive
There's an obvious attraction
To the path of least resistance in you life
There's an obvious aversion no amount of my insistence
could make you try tonight
Cause it's easy not to
So much easier not to
And what goes around never comes around to you
To you to you to you to you to you...
There's no love no money no thrill anymore
There's an apprehensive naked little trembling boy
With his head in his hands
There's an underestimated and impatient little girl
Raising her hand
But it's easy not to
So much easier not to
And what goes around never comes around to you
To you, to you
get up get up get up off of it
get up get up get up off of it
get out get outta here enough already
get up get up get up off of it
wake up

Alanis Morissette - Joining You lyrics

dear dar(lin') your mom (my friend) left a message on my machine she
was
frantic
saying you were talking crazy that you wanted to do away with yourself
I guess she thought I'd be a perfect resort because we've had this
inexplicable connection since our youth and
yes they're in shock they are panicked you and your chronic them and
their
drama
you this embarrassment us in the middle of this delusion
if we were our bodied
if we were our futured
if we were our defenses I'd be joining you
if we were our culture
if we were our leaders
if we were our denials I'd be joining you
I remember vividly a day years ago we were camping you knew more then
you
thought you should know
you said "I don't want ever to be brainwashed" and you were
mindboggling you
were intense
you were uncomfortable in your own skin you were thirsty but mostly
you were
beautiful
If we were our nametags
If we were our rejections
If we were our outcomes I'd be joining you
If we were our indignities
If we were our successes
If we were our emotions I'd be joining you
You and I we're like 4 year olds we want to know why and how come
about
everything
we want to reveal ourselves at will and speak our minds we never talk
small
and be intuitive
and question mightily and find god my tortured beacon
If we were their condemnations
If we were their projections
If we were our paranoias I'd be joining you
If we were our incomes
If we were our obsessions
If we were our afflictions I'd be joining you
we need reflection we need a really good memory feel free to call me a
little
more often

Alanis Morissette - Crazy lyrics

In a church by the face
He talks about the people going under
Only child knows...

A man decides after seventy years
That what he goes there for, is to unlock the door,
While those around him criticize and sleep...
And through a fractal on a breaking wall,
I see you my friend and touch your face again,
Miracles will happen as we dream

But we're never gonna survive unless
We get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive unless
We are a little...

Crazy yellow people walking through my head.
One of them's got a gun, shoot the other one.
And yet together they were friends at school
Ohh, get it, get it, get it, no no no!
If I were there when we first took the pill,
Then maybe, then maybe, then maybe, then maybe...
Miracles will happen as we speak.

[Chorus]

Crazy...
No no, we'll never survive, unless we get a little...bit...

In a sky full of people, only some want to fly.
Isn't that crazy?
In a world full of people, only some want to fly.
Isn't that crazy?
Crazy...
In a heaven of people there's only some want to fly.
Ain't that crazy? Crazy, crazy... crazy...

[Chorus]
