Nemesis
Alanis Morissette
So I, opened the front door
You walked in all handsome
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
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 window
So, I climbed the stairs and bled and here was a starseed
Right here he came to us in 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 plugged 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 window
Right here in this very backyard
We promised forever
And we put our helmets on and threw the confetti
And there's the phone call
Telling me to breathe in through my nose and out my mouth
And out came a girl faster than we thought
Now I am beyond recognition
I guess that's a good thing
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 window
