Smiling - 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
