Reckoning Lyrics

Cover art for Reckoning lyrics by Ani DiFranco

This is definitely one of my most favorite Ani songs.

"I don't care how fast you run, just tell me, baby, that when you're done with your little marathon, that you still got cabfare home. 'cause the finishline 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."

I think it's about waiting around for someone you love to come back, and she's saying even when he's not around, she still swears by him.
