Lirieke: Ani Difranco. Revelling / Reckoning. So What.
Who's gonna give a shit
Who's gonna take the call
When you find out that the road ahead
Is painted on a wall
And you're turned up to top volume
And you're just sitting there in pause
With your feral little secret
Scratching at you with its claws
And you're trying hard to figure out
Just exactly how you feel
Before you end up parked and sobbing
Forehead on the steering wheel
Who are you now and who were you then
That you thought somehow you could just pretend
That you could figure it all out the mathematics of regret
So it takes two beers to remember now and five to forget
That I loved you so yeah, I loved you, so what
How many times undone can one person be
As they're careening through the facade
Of their favorite fantasy you just close your eyes slowly
Like you're waiting for a kiss and hope some lowly little power
Will pull you out of this but none comes at first
And little comes at all
And when inspiration finally hits you
It barely even breaks your fall
Who were you then and who are you
Now that you can pretend that it'll all work out
Subtract out the impact and the fall is all you get
So here's two beers to remember why and three more to forget
That I loved you so yeah, I loved you, so what
I loved you
So what
Who's gonna take the call
When you find out that the road ahead
Is painted on a wall
And you're turned up to top volume
And you're just sitting there in pause
With your feral little secret
Scratching at you with its claws
And you're trying hard to figure out
Just exactly how you feel
Before you end up parked and sobbing
Forehead on the steering wheel
Who are you now and who were you then
That you thought somehow you could just pretend
That you could figure it all out the mathematics of regret
So it takes two beers to remember now and five to forget
That I loved you so yeah, I loved you, so what
How many times undone can one person be
As they're careening through the facade
Of their favorite fantasy you just close your eyes slowly
Like you're waiting for a kiss and hope some lowly little power
Will pull you out of this but none comes at first
And little comes at all
And when inspiration finally hits you
It barely even breaks your fall
Who were you then and who are you
Now that you can pretend that it'll all work out

So here's two beers to remember why and three more to forget
That I loved you so yeah, I loved you, so what
I loved you
So what
