When We’re Through

[Verse 1] I woke up on early evening and I knew I was alone Did the sun come up or did it rain? Again, I'll never know I felt the acid in my stomach rise above my throat as I dialed There was a message from my mother From about 7 AM, said "I've forgotten what you sound like And I'm wondering how you've been?" I cried myself to asleep back on the floor Unconscious in denial [Chorus] Life is just a little part of what the world will do To get it's point across, it beats you till you're black & blue And decides just when you're in or when you're out 'Cause when you're through, you're through [Verse 2] There's a cafe around the corner from a home I call a house I sit and play Sudoku till I figure some shit out I drink the day’s first coffee and I smoke the last cigarette of my life And I'm wondering out of all the crazy places that I've been Would it ever be as good as sitting here just with a friend? Where it's always understood it might be time, to switch the coffee to the wine [Chorus] Life is just a little part of what the world will do To get it's point across, it beats you till you're black & blue And decides just when you're in or when you're out 'Cause when you're through, you're through Yeah, Yeah Whoaaaah, Ohhhh Whoaaaaahhhhhh Ohhhh, Ohhh, Ohhh Oh [Verse 3] Janis sings to me just like she's sitting by my side And I wonder just how many times she sat like me and cried I've made it past the age of twenty-seven so there's no use in dying And my friends have asked the question: “Baby, will you be okay?” I want to tell them yes 'cause I know that is what I should say But I've got no crystal ball and I can't bring myself to lie and why should I? [Chorus] Hey, yeah - I think that Life is just a little part of what this world will do It brings us to the brink and beats the shit right out of you And decides just when you're in or when you're out 'Cause when you're through, you're through Yeah, Yeah, Yeah Life is just a little part of what this world will do It brings us to the brink and beats the shit right out to you And decides just when you're in or when you're out When you're through, you're through [Outro] Aye, Oh I guess I'm through Mmmmm 'Cause when you're through, you're through
