Funeral Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm singing at a funeral tomorrow
For a kid a year older than me
And I've been talking to his dad; it makes me so sad
When I think too much about it I can't breathe
[Verse 2]
And I have this dream where I'm screaming underwater
While my friends are waving from the shore
And I don't need you to tell me what that means
I don't believe in that stuff anymore
[Chorus]
Jesus Christ, I'm so blue all the time
And that's just how I feel
Always have and I always will
I always have and always will
[Verse 3]
I have a friend I call
When I've bored myself to tears
And we talk until we think we might just kill ourselves
But then we laugh until it disappears
[Verse 4]
And last night, I blacked out in my car
And I woke up in my childhood bed
Wishing I was someone else, feeling sorry for myself
When I remembered someone's kid is dead
[Chorus]
Jesus Christ, I'm so blue all the time
And that's just how I feel
Always have and I always will
I always have and always will
[Outro]
And it's 4 a.m. again
And I'm doing nothing
Again
I'm singing at a funeral tomorrow
For a kid a year older than me
And I've been talking to his dad; it makes me so sad
When I think too much about it I can't breathe
And I have this dream where I'm screaming underwater
While my friends are waving from the shore
And I don't need you to tell me what that means
I don't believe in that stuff anymore
Jesus Christ, I'm so blue all the time
And that's just how I feel
Always have and I always will
I always have and always will
I have a friend I call
When I've bored myself to tears
And we talk until we think we might just kill ourselves
But then we laugh until it disappears
And last night, I blacked out in my car
And I woke up in my childhood bed
Wishing I was someone else, feeling sorry for myself
When I remembered someone's kid is dead
Jesus Christ, I'm so blue all the time
And that's just how I feel
Always have and I always will
I always have and always will
And it's 4 a.m. again
And I'm doing nothing
Again

I think Phoebe is essentially talking about a person's struggles with depression. She talks about some of the events that kind of snap them out of their depression though. Thinking about someone else who has it worse off (the dad who's kid is dead), connecting with a friend and laughing off suicide and not taking unwanted advice.
It ends with acceptance of that's how it's going to be and it's ok.
