[Verse 1]
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 a life
This is a life
This is a life
This is a life
This is a life
This is a life
This is a life
This is a life
This is a life

And I, moving
And I, moving
And I, moving
And I, moving
And I can't stand still
And I, moving
And I, moving
And I, moving
And I, moving
And I can't stand still (Still, still, still, still)
Can't stand still
Can't stand still

[Verse 1]
My loose recollection of a falling
I barely remember who I failed
I was just trying to keep it together

[Outro]
And I, moving
And I, moving
And I, moving
And I can't stand still
And I, moving
And I, moving
And I, moving
And I can't stand still

Alanis Nadine Morissette was born on June 1, 1974, in Ottawa, Canada. At age 6, she began taking piano lessons, and by the time she was 9, she was writing her own songs.

When she was 11, Morissette joined the cast of a Nickelodeon children’s show called You Can’t Do That on Television, and saved up her earnings. In 1987, she used them to self-release her first track, “Fate Stay With Me.” The song caught the attention of record label MCA Canada; at age 14, Morissette signed a contract with the company. She released a self-titled album, Alanis, in 1991, which went platinum. Quickly following up the success of her first album, Morissette released Now Is The Time a year later, though it did not reach the same level of popularity.

In 1994 Morissette moved to Los Angeles teamed up with industry veteran Glen Ballard, and she began to approach songwriting more organically.
