All I Really Want
Alanis Morissette
Do I stress you out?
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
And you say: How appropriate!
I don't wanna 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 the 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
Ah-hah-ah-ah-hah-hah
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'm 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
Ah-hah-ah-ah-hah-hah
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 pretenses falling
All around
All around
Why are you 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
And all I really want
Is some peace, man
A place to find a common ground
And all I really want
Is a wavelength
Ah-hah-ah-ah-hah-hah
And all I really want
Is some comfort
A way to get my hands untied
And all I really want
Is some justice
Ah-hah-ah-ah-hah-hah
It's all I really want, some patience
A way to calm me down
And all I really want is deliverance
A place to find a common ground
And all I really want is some justice
