Reckoning - Ani DiFranco

This is one of my favorite songs right now. The second disk of "So Much Shouting" is full of breakup songs so I've been listening to it alot on my drives. Catharsis, you know? This song is bittersweet though kinda hopeful. The first two verses could be sung to me but it's the third verse that's been in my head the last couple of days. Hell, I was gonna write that the third verse was one that made me think of someone else, which it does, but I think it could be sung to me as well. I guess I'm done running my marathon and just hoping that I'm still the song someone sings when they're alone.

Reckoning - Ani DiFranco
you can doubt anything
if you think about it long enough.
cause 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.
i remember when it was just you and me
steppin' up to bat.

and win or lose, just that we chose,
this little war is what kills us.
and either or it's that this war is,
maybe also what thrills us.

we thought we left possession behind.
the truth is iwas yours and you weren't mine.
i've replayed a thousand times exactly what was said.

cause nothing is as it appears.
in the fun house mirrors of your fears
on a roller coaster of all these years
with your hands above your head.

and win or lose, just that we chose,
this little war is what kills us.
and either or it's that this waris,
maybe also what thrills us.

and you know i don't care how fast you run
just tell me baby when you're done with your little marathon
that you still have cab fare home.
cause the finish line is a shifty thing
and what is life but reckoning?
and baby you are still the song i sing to myself when i'm alone.

and win or lose just that you chose
this little war is what kills you.
and either or it's that this war is,
maybe also what thrills you.
