Alanis Morissette - Sandbox Love Lyrics

Alanis Morissette Lyrics

"Sandbox Love"

Catapult me out of this fantasy
It's never been mine, it's always been yours
Take me back in time, start all this from scratch
Please go slowly, 'cause I'm apprehensive

(Ooh, ah, ooh) Into what really happened
(Ooh, ah, ooh) I try not to remember
Here we go, into the danger zone
But this time with a friend

Awkward as fuck
Precious as fuck
Scary as fuck
Us in our sandbox, sandbox love

I'm holding my breath, smoke came from these ears
Said he can't control it, that it was my fault
Take me back to square one, and clear this flashing back
Please tread lightly, 'cause I'm an open affront

(Ooh, ah, ooh) Into what really happened
(Ooh, ah, ooh) I've tried to block it out and
Here we go, into the danger zone
But this time with a friend

Awkward as fuck
Sexy as fuck
Sacred as fuck
Us in our sandbox, sandbox love

'Cause I have not been ready for this challenge
My soul is shy when you ask for more contact
I close my eyes and picture myself somewhere else

Thanks for showing up
Thanks for proving them all wrong
'Cause you are my love
And you are not them

Healing as fuck
Playful as fuck
Present as fuck
Us in our sandbox, sandbox love

Awkward as fuck
Sweet as fuck
Here as fuck
Us in our sandbox, sandbox love

Alanis Morissette told Apple Music about this song, "There's so much repair that's needed to be experienced in a relationship, for those of us who've had sexual abuse in our past. 'Sandbox Love' is my imagining of what healthy sex would be, what that terrain looks like."
