Alanis Morissette: All I Really Want (Acoustic)

Do I stress you out
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
and you say how appropriate
I don't dissect everything today
I don't mean to pick you apart you see
But I can't help it

And there I go jumping before
the gunshot has gone off
Slap me with a splintered ruler
And it would knock me to the floor
if I wasn't there already
If only I could hunt the hunter

And all I really want is some patience
A way to calm the angry voice
And all I really want is deliverance

Do I wear you out
You must wonder why
I'm relentless and all strung out
I'm consumed by the chill of solitary
I'm like Estella
I like to reel it in and then spit it out
I'm frustrated by your apathy

And I am frightened
by the corrupted ways of this land
If only I could meet the Maker
And I am fascinated by the spiritual man
I am humbled by his humble nature, yeah

And what I wouldn't give to find a soulmate
Someone else to catch this drift
And what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred

Enough about me
let's talk about you for a minute
Enough about you
let's talk about life for a while
The conflicts, the craziness
and the sound of pretences
Falling all around... all around

Why am I so petrified of silence
Here can you handle this?

Did you think about your bills
your ex your deadlines
Or when you think you're gonna die
Or did you long for the next distraction
And all I need now is intellectual intercourse
A soul to dig the hole much deeper
And I have no concept of time other than it is flying
If only I could kill the killer, yeah

And all I really want is some peace man
A place to find a common ground
And all I really want is a wavelength

And all I really want is some comfort
A way to get my hands untied
And all I really want is some justice
