Alanis Morissette - Joining You

Dear darling,
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
Guess she thought I would be the 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 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 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 four year olds
We want to know why and how come about everything
We want to reveal ourselves at will, and speak our minds
And never talk small talk and be intuitive
And question mightily, 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 a reflection,
We need a really good memory
Feel free to call me a little more often
