Couch - Alanis Morissette[00:00:01]

You hadn't seen your father in such a long time[00:00:01]

He died in the arms of his lover how dare he[00:00:09]

Your mother never left the house[00:00:18]

She never married anyone else you took it upon yourself to console her[00:00:22]

You reminded her so much of your father[00:00:35]

So you were banished and you wonder why you're so hypersensitive[00:00:41]

And why you can't trust anyone but us but then how can I begin[00:00:48]

To forgive her so many years under bridges with dirty water[00:00:55]

She was foolish and selfish and cowardly if you ask me[00:01:00]

I don't know where to begin in all of my 50 odd years[00:01:10]

I have been silently suffering and adapting perpetuating and enduring[00:01:17]

Who are you younger generation to tell me[00:01:26]

That I have unresolved problems not many examples of fruits[00:01:32]

Of this type of excruciating labor[00:01:38]

How can you just throw words around like grieve and heal and mourn[00:01:45]

I feel fine we may not have been born as awake as you were[00:01:52]

It was much harder in those days we had paper routes uphill both ways[00:02:01]

We went from school to a job to a wife to instant parenthood[00:02:09]

I walked into his office I felt so self-conscious on the couch[00:02:19]

He was sitting down across from me he was writing down[00:02:27]

His hypothesis I don't know I've got a loving supportive wife[00:02:33]

Who doesn't know how involved she should get[00:02:40]

You say his interjecting was him just calling me on my shit [00:02:44]

Just the other day my sweet daughter I was driving past 203[00:02:54]

I walked up the stairs in my mind's eye[00:03:01]

I remember how they would creak loudly[00:03:06]

She was only responsive with a drink he was only responsive by photo[00:03:09]

I was only trying to be the best big brother I could[00:03:19]

I've walked sometimes confused sometimes ready to crack open wide[00:03:28]

Sometimes indignant sometimes raw can you imagine[00:03:35]

I pay him 75 dollars an hour sometimes it feels like highway robbery[00:03:43]

And sometimes it's peanuts I wish it could last a couple more hours[00:03:53]

So here we both are battling similar demons not coincidentally[00:04:03]

You seen getting beyond knowing it solely intellectually[00:04:11]

You're not relinquishing your majesty[00:04:16]

You are wise you are warm you are courageous you are big[00:04:19]

And I love you more now than I ever have in my whole life[00:04:28]
