Not As We

Alanis Morissette · Original Album Series [2012]

Reborn and shivering

Spat out on new terrain

Unsure, unconvincing

This faint and shaky hour.



Day one, day one

Start over again

Step one, step one

I'm barely making sense

For now I'm faking it

'Til I'm pseudo-making it

From scratch, begin again

But this time I as "I"

And not as "we".



Gun-shy and quivering

Timid without a hand

Feign brave with steel intent

Little and hardly here.



Day one, day one

Start over again

Step one, step one

With not much making sense

Just yet I'm faking it

'Til I'm pseudo-making it

From scratch, begin again

But this time I as "I"

And not as "we".



Eyes wet

Toward wide open frayed

If God is taking bets, I pray He wants to lose.



Day one, day one

Start over again

Step one, step one

I'm barely making sense

Just yet I'm faking it

'Til I'm pseudo-making it

From scratch, begin again

But this time I as "I"

And not as "we".
