Smiling Songtext
von Alanis Morissette

This is a life of extremes
Both sides are slippery and enticing
These are my places off the rails

And this, my loose recollection of a falling
I barely remember who I failed
I was just trying to keep it together

This is my first wave of my white flag
This is the sound of me hitting bottom

This my surrender, if that′s what you call it
In the anatomy of my crash

And I keep on smiling
Keep on moving
Can't stand still

Me, the notorious bottom dweller
Me, the ceiling-less brave explorer
Lured to the ends of overwhelm


This is my first wave of the white flag
This is the sound of me hitting bottom
This my surrender, if that′s what I call it
In the anatomy of my crash

And I keep on smiling
Keep on moving
Can't stand still

Such pretty forks in the road
On this continuum I've been bouncing
Life flashing promise before my eyes

This is my first wave of the white flag
This is the sound of me hitting bottom
This my surrender, if I can bare it
In the anatomy of my crash

And I keep on smiling
Keep on moving
Can′t stand still
