Lyrics I Love #8

[foxmonkey]

OH MY GOD, Friday. Thank you, anonymous drive-by hugger. I needed that. :-)

I've hit the ground running every day this day at work, so I'm glad it's finally over. My sinuses are killing me, not exactly softly, either, and I've got a sore throat. Waaah!

I've been feeling like I'm going to bawl my eyes out at odd times during the week - and it's not that time of the month, so no. Just feeling weepy from stress and sore throatiness, I suppose. ::cries::

But!

I've had this song on repeat for days. Love it. Love this song. Love the music and the way she sounds. And, from the lyrics, I love this:

The moment I let go of it
Was the moment I got more than I could handle.
The moment I jumped off of it
Was the moment that I touched down.



"Thank U"
by Alanis Morissette

how bout getting off these antibiotics
how bout stopping eating when I'm full up
how bout them transparent dangling carrots
how bout that ever elusive kudo

thank you india
thank you terror
thank you disillusionment
thank you frailty
thank you consequence
thank you thank you silence

how bout me not blaming you for everything
how bout me enjoying the moment for once
how bout how good it feels to finally forgive you
how bout grieving it all one at a time

thank you india
thank you terror
thank you disillusionment
thank you frailty
thank you consequence
thank you thank you silence

the moment I let go of it was the moment
I got more than I could handle
the moment I jumped off of it
was the moment I touched down

how bout no longer being masochistic
how bout remembering your divinity
how bout unabashedly bawling your eyes out
how bout not equating death with stopping

thank you india
thank you providence
thank you disillusionment
thank you nothingness
thank you clarity
thank you thank you silence

Oooh, which one, the one with the hood and decorative stitching at the cuffs, or the bathrobe-y one (which I *love*)?
