1974 lyrics
Alanis Morissette & Ryan Adams
Ryan : I was born in 1974 On a calm meticulous street Someplace in the sun Oh the air was sweet And enough lights sprang sparks Through the window of the room Not as raw to a ridiculous tune Slightly out of key in the mother hour Ryan & Alanis : So leave me alone So leave me alone So leave me alone I'm busy breaking bones Alanis : I was born in 1974 In a breached feet-first way My twin opened the door My very first dose of chivalry I was dawned princess potential potent With gold star and matching impression Big between two doors Small and loved and proud and unthreatened Ryan & Alanis : So leave me alone So leave me alone So leave me alone I'm busy breaking bones Ryan : I bet you were strong When you should have been weak Like a dam that wanted to break I wish I were the stones Your river learned to roam In whispering gaze Alanis : You were told in a kind North Carolinian way To slow down, back up, or be hated Thank god you did not And thank god you did An angel either way Ryan & Alanis : So leave us alone So leave us alone So leave us alone We're busy being grown Alanis : November 5, 8:17 PM Scorpio & A gem Ryan : June 1st, 9:39 AM Gemini & A lullaby
