[00:00.00]I Was Hoping (Live Unplugged) - Alanis Morissette
[00:16.20]As we were talking outside
[00:17.70]It was cold
[00:18.89]
[00:20.38]We were shivering yet warmed by the subject matter
[00:25.25]My wife is in the next room
[00:27.42]
[00:28.43]We've been having troubles you know
[00:30.55]Please don't tell her or anyone
[00:32.86]But I need to talk to somebody
[00:36.67]You said 'Wouldn't it be a shame if I knew how great I was
[00:40.31]
[00:41.67]Five minutes before I died
[00:44.42]I'd be filled with such regret
[00:46.42]Before I took my last breath '
[00:47.99]
[00:49.06]And I said 'You're willing to tell me this now
[00:52.30]And you're not going to die
[00:53.61]
[00:54.74]Anytime soon '
[00:55.86]
[00:56.80]And I said I haven't been eating chicken or meat or anything
[01:02.06]And you said yes
[01:03.50]But you've been wearing leather
[01:07.06]
[01:08.74]And laughed and said
[01:10.31]We're at the top of the food chain
[01:12.56]And yes you're still a fine woman
[01:14.62]And I cringed
[01:16.59]
[01:20.22]I was hoping
[01:21.97]
[01:23.78]I was hoping we could heal each other
[01:29.28]
[01:30.97]I was hoping
[01:34.66]I was hoping we could be raw together
[01:40.04]
[01:53.16]We left the restaurant where the head waiter (in his 60's) said
[01:58.16]'Good bye sir
[01:59.22]Thank you for your business sir
[02:01.85]You're successful and established sir
[02:03.97]And we like the frequency with which you dine here sir
[02:08.04]And your money '
[02:10.28]
[02:11.59]And when I walked by they said 'Thank you too dear '
[02:18.05]
[02:18.61]I was all pigtails and cords
[02:21.80]And there was a day when I would've said something like
[02:24.24]
[02:25.71]'Hey dude I could buy and sell this place so kiss it '
[02:31.39]I too once thought
[02:32.52]I was owed something
[02:35.27]
[02:36.58]I was hoping
[02:38.65]
[02:40.35]I was hoping we could challenge each other
[02:47.47]I was hoping
[02:50.78]I was hoping we could crack each other up
[02:57.60]
[02:58.16]I too thought that when proved wrong I lost somehow
[03:01.72]
[03:03.60]I too thought life was cruel
[03:07.10]
[03:08.92]It's a cycle really
[03:11.03]You think I'm withdrawing and guilt tripping you
[03:13.23]
[03:14.11]I think you're insensitive and I don't feel heard
[03:16.60]And I said 'Do you believe we are
[03:19.11]Fundamentally judgmental
[03:23.30]
[03:25.06]Fundamentally evil '
[03:28.18]
[03:28.99]And you said Yes
[03:31.74]And I said do you believe in revenge
[03:34.43]In right or wrong
[03:36.06]Good or bad
[03:37.30]And you said 'Well what about the man that
[03:39.67]I saw handcuffed in the emergency room
[03:41.49]
[03:42.18]Bleeding after beating his kid
[03:43.74]
[03:44.33]And she threw a shoe at his head
[03:46.69]
[03:47.33]I think what he did was wrong
[03:49.38]
[03:51.26]And I wouldn't have had a hard time feeling compassion for him '
[03:54.83]
[03:55.51]I had to watch my tone for fear of having you feel judged
[04:01.13]
[04:01.69]I was hoping
[04:03.44]
[04:06.33]I was hoping we could dance together
[04:11.44]
[04:12.76]I was hoping
[04:15.89]
[04:16.64]I was hoping we could be creamy together
