Alanis Morissette - Joining You lyrics

Dear darlin,<br>Your mom, my friend<br>Left a message on my machine<br>She was frantic<br>Saying you were talking crazy.<br><br>That you wanted to do away with yourself.<br>Guess she thought I would be the perfect resort<br>Because we've had this inexplicable connection since our youth<br><br>And yes, they're in shock<br>They are panicked<br>You and your chronic<br>Them and their drama<br>You this embarassment<br>Us in the middle of this delusion.<br><br>If we were our bodies,<br>If we were our futures,<br>If we were our defenses,<br>I'd be joining you.<br><br>If we were our culture,<br>If we were our leaders,<br>If we were our denials,<br>I'd be joining you.<br><br>I remember vividly a day years ago,<br>We were camping.<br>You knew more than you thought you should know.<br>You said 'i don't want ever to be brainwashed'<br>And you were mindboggling, you were intense.<br>You were uncomfortable in your own skin.<br>You were thirsty,<br>But mostly you were beautiful.<br><br>If we were our nametags,<br>If we were our rejections,<br>If we were our outcomes,<br>I'd be joining you.<br><br>If we were our indignities,<br>If we were our successes,<br>If we were our emotions,<br>I'd be joining you.<br><br>You and i, we're like four year olds.<br>We want to know why, and how come about everything.<br>We want to reveal ourselves at will, and speak our minds.<br>And never talk small talk and be intuitive,<br>And question mightily, and find God my tortured beacon.<br><br>We need to find like-minded companions.<br><br>If we were their condemnations,<br>If we were their projections,<br>If we were our paranoias, I'd be joining you.<br><br>If we were our incomes,<br>If we were our obsessions,<br>If we were our afflictions, I'd be joining you.<br><br>We need a reflection,<br>We need a really good memory.<br>Feel free to call me a little more often.
