Tell Me When Lyrics

She's all by herself at the end of the day 
She'd talk to herself but wouldn't know what to say 
Wrings her hands and steps out of the bath 
The mirror laughs and splits her in half 
She looks around the room, at her carpeted tomb 
Threw the phone on the floor, left the keys in the door 
Tell me when, tell me when 
Tell me when, when does life begin 
She got in the car and looked up at the stars 
And made a wish, she held her breath and considered death 
And in the rearview mirror, she looked back on her reflection 
She was a long way from she wanted to be 
And a long way from perfection 
Tell me when, tell me when 
Tell me when, when does life begin 
She chickened out and she called triple-A 
And told them the way 
After she paid they fixed the car 
She got on her way and she drove past the bar 
Where no one bought her a drink at 
She always though it was 'cause she was too fat 
And now she knows those places blow 
Or maybe it was her nose 
Tell me when, tell me when 
Tell me when, when does life begin
