Tell Me When Lyrics - Let Your Dim Light Shine - Soul Asylum

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 rear view 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, 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 

When 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, tell me when 

Tell me when 

When does life begin 

When does life begin
