alanis morissette |
| [00:05.53] |
i was hoping |
| [00:09.25] |
as we were talking outside, |
| [00:11.70] |
it was cold, |
| [00:13.40] |
we were shivering, yet warmed by the subject matter. |
| [00:17.81] |
my wife is in the next room, |
| [00:20.03] |
we've been having troubles you know, |
| [00:22.58] |
please don't tell her or anyone, |
| [00:24.55] |
but i need to talk to somebody. |
| [00:27.37] |
you said, 'wouldn't it be a shame if i knew how great i was |
| [00:31.47] |
five minutes before i died? |
| [00:33.54] |
i'd be filled with such regret |
| [00:35.94] |
before i took my last breath.' |
| [00:37.52] |
and i said, 'you're willing to tell me this now, |
| [00:40.49] |
and you're not going to die |
| [00:42.73] |
anytime soon.' |
| [00:44.50] |
and i said i haven't been eating chicken,or meat,or anything. |
| [00:47.87] |
and you said yes, |
| [00:48.88] |
but you've been wearing leather |
| [00:53.65] |
and laughed and said |
| [00:54.77] |
we're at the top of the food chain. |
| [00:56.88] |
and yes you're still a fine woman, |
| [00:59.25] |
and i cringed. |
| [01:03.75] |
i was hoping, |
| [01:06.80] |
i was hoping we could heal each other. |
| [01:12.82] |
i was hoping, |
| [01:15.90] |
i was hoping we could be raw together. |
| [01:22.41] |
|
| [01:24.48] |
|
| [01:26.09] |
we left the restaurant where the head waiter (in his 60's), said |
| [01:29.89] |
'good bye, sir. |
| [01:31.12] |
thank you for your business sir. |
| [01:32.83] |
you're successful and established, sir, |
| [01:35.26] |
and we like the frequency with which you dine here sir. |
| [01:38.63] |
and your money.' |
| [01:43.73] |
and when i walked by, they said 'thank you too dear.' |
| [01:47.34] |
i was all pigtails and cords. |
| [01:49.98] |
and there was a day when i would've said something like, |
| [01:52.99] |
'hey dude, i could buy and sell this place, so kiss it.' |
| [01:57.71] |
i too once thought |
| [01:58.98] |
i was owed something. |
| [02:02.29] |
i was hoping, |
| [02:05.30] |
i was hoping we could challenge each other. |
| [02:11.34] |
i was hoping, |
| [02:14.37] |
i was hoping we could crack each other up. |
| [02:21.10] |
i too thought that when proved wrong, i lost somehow. |
| [02:25.81] |
i too thought life was cruel. |
| [02:30.14] |
it's a cycle, really. |
| [02:31.43] |
you think i'm withdrawing and guilt tripping you. |
| [02:34.65] |
i think you're insensitive and i don't feel heard. |
| [02:36.90] |
and i said 'do you believe we are |
| [02:38.57] |
fundamentally judgmental? |
| [02:42.95] |
fundamentally evil?' |
| [02:46.48] |
and you said yes. |
| [02:48.55] |
and i said do you believe in revenge, |
| [02:51.14] |
in right or wrong, |
| [02:52.82] |
good or bad? |
| [02:53.34] |
and you said 'well, what about the man that |
| [02:54.93] |
i saw handcuffed in the emergency room, |
| [02:58.02] |
bleeding after beating his kid, |
| [02:59.74] |
and she threw a shoe at his head. |
| [03:02.25] |
i think what he did was wrong, |
| [03:05.11] |
and i wouldn't have had a hard time feeling compassion for him.' |
| [03:09.00] |
i had to watch my tone for fear of having you feel judged. |
| [03:14.94] |
i was hoping, |
| [03:17.95] |
i was hoping we could dance together. |
| [03:24.00] |
i was hoping, |
| [03:27.00] |
i was hoping we could be creamy together. |
