Alanis Morissette Nemesis

So I opened the front door

You walked in all handsome

And ready for something

You saw in my eyes

 

Right here

We sat and we tripped out

Saw celestial mosaics

And I fell and I crawled over

And held your hand

 

And nobody worried about the roof being blown off

So I went farther than I'd ever gone before

 

Change, you are my nemesis

Transition, I hold my breath

This about-face, I'm excited

I'm excited

Yet I'm filled with despair

Anticipation and dread

This metamorphosis closed the door

And opened a window

 

And so

I climbed the stairs and bled

And here was a starseed

Right here he came to us

In the bed in our bedroom

 

And you trusted me enough to follow me anywhere

Or the other way around

The other way around as well

 

And I blocked my nose and dove in the deep end

And swam like my life depended on it, and it did

 

Change, you are my nemesis

Transition, I hold my breath

This about-face, I'm excited

I'm excited

Yet I'm filled with despair

Anticipation and dread

This metamorphosis closed the door

And opened a window

 

Oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, no

Oh, oh, oh, ah

Oh, no

 

Right here, in this very backyard, we promised forever

And we put our helmets on and threw the confetti

And then there's the phone call

Telling me to breathe in through my nose and out my mouth

And out came our girl, faster than we thought

And now I am beyond recognition

I guess that's a good thing

And still, I want to go deeper

 

Change, you are my nemesis

Transition, I hold my breath

This about-face, I'm excited

I'm excited

Yet I'm filled with despair

Anticipation and dread

This metamorphosis closed the door

And opened a window

 
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
