[Verse 1]
We spent our days in contemplation
Too much too soon
And though it hurts to let it linger on and on
You're all I need
What will my heart allow
When loneliness holds me down

[Chorus]
So move closer and comfort me now
Move over if you care for me
But I guess you can't come out for a while

[Verse 2]
We spent our nights in conversation
Too much to prove
And I've been a fool to let this linger on and on
You're all I see
Shaping our love we found
Impossible higher ground

[Chorus]
So move closer and comfort me now
Move over if you care for me
Well I guess you can't come out for a while

[Verse 3]
Won't you move closer and comfort me now
Move over if you care for me
Well I've come to learn how love can cage you
Tear you up then try to replace you
I guess I won't come out for a while
With no warning, no pause, no pity

[Bridge]
Why, why, why
Don't wanna wake my soul anymore
Just stay away from me a little while
Where will you go when we walk away?
Ooh, oh, ooh, oh
My only comfort is gone
With no warning, no pause, no pity

[Outro]
My only comfort is gone
With no warning, no pause, no pity

Alanis Morissette

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.
