Alanis Morissette - Joining You

Dear darlin 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’de be a perfect resort
Because we’ve had this inexplicable connection since our youth and
Yes their 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 bodies
If we were our futures
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 than you thought you should know
You said I don’t want to be ever brainwashed
And you were mindboggling you were intense
You were uncomfortable in our 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
An speak our minds and never talk small and be intuitive
And question mightly and find god my tortured beacon
We need to find like-minded companions

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
