1974
Ryan : I was born in 1974 On a calm meticulous street Someplace in the sun Oh the air was sweet And enough lights sprang sparks Through the window of the room Not as raw to a ridiculous tune Slightly out of key in the mother hour Ryan & Alanis : So leave me alone So leave me alone So leave me alone I'm busy breaking bones Alanis : I was born in 1974 in a breached feet-first way my twin opened the door my very first dose of chivalry I was dawned princess potential potent with gold star and matching impression big between two doors small and loved and proud and unthreatened Ryan & Alanis : So leave me alone So leave me alone So leave me alone I'm busy breaking bones Ryan : I bet you were strong when you should have been weak like a dam that wanted to break I wish I were the stones your river learned to roam in whispering gaze Alanis : You were told in a kind North Carolinian way to slow down, back up, or be hated thank god you did not and thank god you did an angel either way Ryan & Alanis : So leave us alone So leave us alone So leave us alone We're busy being grown Alanis : November 5, 8:17 PM Scorpio & a gem Ryan : June 1st, 9:39 AM Gemini & a lullaby
