Front row lyrics

Artist  : Alanis morissette 
Song : Front row
 
do you go to the dungeon to find out how to make
peace with your days in the dungeon writing a
letter
to you didn't make me feel any more peaceful then
how I felt when we weren't speaking because I
didn't cop to what I did. I can't love you
because we're supposed to have professional
boundaries. i'd
like you to be schooled and in awe as though you
were kissed by god full on the lips . i'm in the
front
row the front row with popcorn I get to see you
see you close up i'm too tired to recount the
unpleasantries one by one one minute I want to
banish you the next I want to be on
a deserted island with you along with my three
favorite cd's ambivalent yet in your
bed we've yet to acknowledge what really happened
slid into the ditch I have this overwhelming loss
of ambition we said let's name thirty good reasons
why
we shouldn't be together I started by saying
things like "you smoke" "you live in new jersey
(too far)"
you started saying things like "you belong to the
world" all of which could have been easily
refuted but the conversation was hypothetical I
am totally short of breath for you why can't you
shut
your stuff off..... i'm in the front row the
front row with popcorn I get to see you see you
close up
and I laughed until my lungs hurt I love how you
bust my chops you don't always
feel seen sometimes you feel erasable
unfortunately I cannot reciprocate in my
current state I think we should be careful of how
much time we spend together
........for a while i'm speaking you know how
much you hate to be interrupted maybe spend some
time alone to fill up your proverbial cup so that
it doesn't always have to be about you i've been
wanting
your undivided attention I like the fact that
you're nothing like me are you not burdened by
the lack of
perspective people have of your charmed life  i'm
in the front row the front row with
popcorn I get to see you see you close up you
never meant to be ungrateful nor held up to
be whipped or wept for certainly not analysed
prodded at more ways than one
apparently you've been misrepresented dealing
with the concept of arrows being
slung towards your outrageous fortune
hey i'm not mad at you guardian i'm mad at myself
for spending so much time with you and your
jeckyl and hydeness i'm glad i figuratively
slapped you on the wrist you laughed a wicked
laugh
and said "come here let me clip your wings!"(i
know he's blood but you can still turn him away
you
don't owe him anything) "raise the roof" he
yelled "yeah raise the roof!" I yelled back.
(unfortunately
you needed a health scare to reprioritize.) no
thanks to the soap box. having me rile against
them
won't make an ounce of difference...... i'm in
the front row the front row with popcorn. I get
to see
you see you close up oh the things i've done for
you many a sitch a friend a man's
been left for you oh the books i've read for you
the tongues i've bitten for you many
a new city for you many a risk taken for you (not
a single regret)
