Nemesis Songtext
von Alanis Morissette

So I opened the front door
You walked in all handsome
And ready for something you saw in my eyes
Right here, we sat and we tripped out
Saw celestial mosaics
And I fell and I crawled over and held your hand

And nobody worried
About the roof being blown off
So I went farther than I′d ever gone before

Change, you are my nemesis
Transition, I hold my breath
This about-face, I'm excited
I′m excited, yet
I'm filled with despair
Anticipation and dread
This metamorphosis closed the door
And opened a window


And so, I climbed the stairs and bled
And here was a starseed
Right here, he came to us
In the bed in our bedroom
And you trusted me enough
To follow me anywhere
Or the other way around
The other way around as well

And I blocked my nose
And dove in the deep end
And swam like my life depended on it
And it did

Change, you are my nemesis
Transition, I hold my breath
This about-face, I'm excited
I′m excited, yet
I′m filled with despair
Anticipation and dread
This metamorphosis closed the door
And opened a window


Right here, in this very backyard
We promised forever
And we put our helmets on and threw the confetti
And then, there's the phone call
Telling me to breathe in
Through my nose and out my mouth
And out came our girl
Faster than we thought
And now I am beyond recognition
I guess that′s a good thing
And still, I want to go deeper

Change, you are my nemesis
Transition, I hold my breath
This about-face, I'm excited
I′m excited, yet
I'm filled with despair
Anticipation and dread
This metamorphosis closed the door
And opened a window
