《The Couch》歌词

[00:00:01] Couch - Alanis Morissette

[00:00:01] You hadn't seen your father in such a long time

[00:00:09] He died in the arms of his lover how dare he

[00:00:18] Your mother never left the house

[00:00:22] She never married anyone else you took it upon yourself to console her

[00:00:35] You reminded her so much of your father

[00:00:41] So you were banished and you wonder why you're so hypersensitive

[00:00:48] And why you can't trust anyone but us but then how can I begin

[00:00:55] To forgive her so many years under bridges with dirty water

[00:01:00] She was foolish and selfish and cowardly if you ask me

[00:01:10] I don't know where to begin in all of my 50 odd years

[00:01:17] I have been silently suffering and adapting perpetuating and enduring

[00:01:26] Who are you younger generation to tell me

[00:01:32] That I have unresolved problems not many examples of fruits

[00:01:38] Of this type of excruciating labor

[00:01:45] How can you just throw words around like grieve and heal and mourn

[00:01:52] I feel fine we may not have been born as awake as you were

[00:02:01] It was much harder in those days we had paper routes uphill both ways

[00:02:09] We went from school to a job to a wife to instant parenthood

[00:02:19] I walked into his office I felt so self-conscious on the couch

[00:02:27] He was sitting down across from me he was writing down

[00:02:33] His hypothesis I don't know I've got a loving supportive wife

[00:02:40] Who doesn't know how involved she should get

[00:02:44] You say his interjecting was him just calling me on my shit

[00:02:54] Just the other day my sweet daughter I was driving past 203

[00:03:01] I walked up the stairs in my mind's eye

[00:03:06] I remember how they would creak loudly

[00:03:09] She was only responsive with a drink he was only responsive by photo

[00:03:19] I was only trying to be the best big brother I could

[00:03:28] I've walked sometimes confused sometimes ready to crack open wide

[00:03:35] Sometimes indignant sometimes raw can you imagine

[00:03:43] I pay him 75 dollars an hour sometimes it feels like highway robbery

[00:03:53] And sometimes it's peanuts I wish it could last a couple more hours

[00:04:03] So here we both are battling similar demons not coincidentally

[00:04:11] You seen getting beyond knowing it solely intellectually

[00:04:16] You're not relinquishing your majesty

[00:04:19] You are wise you are warm you are courageous you are big

[00:04:28] And I love you more now than I ever have in my whole life
