"Your House" - Alanis Morissette
I felt a sudden rush of sadness around lunch time today. I didn't know where it came from, but it made my heart hurt. I didn't realize the impact it had on me until I was walking down the hall to grab a fax. I apparently wore it well on my sleeve and everyone noticed. One of my biggest pet peeves is being asked, "Are you ok?" when obviously, I'm not. To avoid snapping for no reason, I stayed in my office and shut the door, nice and tight.
I don't have time for this. I was swamped with work and it's one thing to sit and do nothing, but dwell. But it's an annoying other to do it on a busy day like a freakin' Monday after a 5-day training. I just couldn't function so I definitely needed a moment to collect myself. What bugs is that I really can't explain where the feelings came from. I mean, I just had lunch and came back to my desk (this is the very reason why I often leave the confines of my workspace in order to take a real break).
What could have possibly triggered such a reaction in such a short amount of time? If I could answer this, I would but of course, I can't. Something was bothering me and to not know what that something was, ticked me off. I knew I had to get over this funk quickly if I wanted to make it through the day.
After a few hours, I finally got my stride back and completed a few tasks before calling it quits. I headed to my car and knew that the Boyz II Men CD just wasn't gonna cut it this time around. So, I pulled out Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill . I remembered there was a hidden track somewhere in the end and fast-forwarded through the last song to find it. Her words rattled me, distracting me from making any rash decisions all the way home.
The version I love has no music. It's just Alanis, singing. She sang with honest pain and it just does so much more for me than this version I'm providing to you now. So, do yourself a favor and find the original; the one that doesn't sound so rehearsed, so "pretty." Find the pain that'll distract you too. It makes a feeling like the one that came from outta nowhere today, disappear.
Lyrics:
I went to your house
Walked up the stairs
I opened your door without ringing the bell
I walked down the hall
Into your room
Where I could smell you
And I shouldn't be here, without permission
I shouldn't be here
Would you forgive me love
If I danced in your shower
Would you forgive me love
If I laid in your bed
Would you forgive me love
If I stay all afternoon
I took off my clothes
Put on your robe
I went through your drawers
And found your cologne
I went down to the den
I found your CDs
And I played your Joni
And I shouldn't stay long, you might be home soon
I shouldn't stay long
Would you forgive me love
If I danced in your shower
Would you forgive me love
If I laid in your bed
Would you forgive me love
If I stay all afternoon
I burned your incense
I ran a bath
And I noticed a letter that sat on your desk
It said "Hello love, I love you so love, meet me at midnight"
And no, it wasn't my writing
I'd better go soon
It wasn't my writing
So forgive me love
If I cry in your shower
So forgive me love
For the salt in your bed
So forgive me love
If I cry all afternoon
