Reckoning Lyrics by Ani Difranco

Reckoning Lyrics

    You can doubt anything
    If you think about it long enough
    Cuz what happened always adjusts to fit
    What happened after that
    And it's hard to feel like you are free
    When all you seem to do is referee
    Remember when it was just you and me
    Steppin' up to bat?

    And win or lose
    Just that you choose this little war
    Is what kills you
    And either/or it's that this war
    Is maybe also what thrills you


    We thought we left possession behind
    But truth is i was yours and you were mine
    And now i've replayed a thousand times
    Exactly what was said
    Cuz nothing is as it appears
    In the funhouse mirrors of your fears
    On the roller coaster of all these years
    With your hands above your head

    And win or lose
    Just that you choose this little war
    Is what kills you
    And either/or it's that this war
    Is maybe also what thrills you

    I don't care how fast you run
    Just tell me, baby, that when you're done
    With your little marathon
    You still got cab fare home
    Cuz the finish line is a shifty thing
    And what is life but reckoning
    And, you know
    You are still the song i sing
    To myself
    When i'm alone

    And win or lose just that we choose
    This little war is what kills us
    And either/or it's that this war
    Is maybe also what thrills us
