Alanis Morissette - I Was Hoping Lyrics

Send "I Was Hoping" ringtone to your cell

As we were talking outside it was cold

We were shivering yet warmed by the subject matter

My wife is in the next room we've been having troubles you know

Please don't tell her or anyone but I need to talk to somebody

You said "Wouldn't it be a shame if I knew how great I was

Five minutes before I'd died I'd be filled with such regret

Before I took my last breath" and I said

"But you're willing to tell me this now

And you're not going to die anytime soon"

And I said "I haven't been eating chicken or meat or anything"

And you said "Yes but you've been wearing leather"

And laughed and said "We're at the top of the food chain

And yes you're still a fine woman" and I cringed

I was hoping

I was hoping we could heal each other

I was hoping

I was hoping we could be raw together

We left the restaurant where the head waiter in his 60's said

"Goodbye sir thank you for your business

Sir you're successful and established sir

We like the frequency with which you dine here sir and your money and

When I walked by they said "Thank you too dear"

I was all pigtails and cords

And there was a day when I would've said something like

"Hey dude I could buy and sell this place so kiss it"

I too once thought I was owed something

I was hoping

I was hoping we could challenge each other

I was hoping

I was hoping we could crack each other up

I too thought that when proved wrong I lost somehow

I too once thought life was cruel and

It's a cycle really

You think I'm withdrawing and guilt tripping you

I think you're insensitive

And I don't feel heard and I said "Do you believe we are

Fundamentally judgmental fundamentally evil?"

And you said "Yes"

I said "I don't believe in revenge in right or wrong good or bad"

You said "Well what about the man that I saw handcuffed

In the emergency room bleeding after beating his kid"

And she threw a shoe at his head

And I think what he did was wrong

And I would've had a hard time feeling compassion for him

I had to watch my tone for fear of having you feel judged

I was hoping

I was hoping we could dance together

I was hoping

I was hoping we could be creamy together
