Joining You - Alanis Morissette

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
