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 [Verse 2] There was a message from my mother From about 7AM, 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 'til you're black and blue And decides just when you're in or when you're out 'Cause when you're through, you're through [Verse 3] There's a café around the corner from a home I call a house I sit and play Sudoku 'til I figure some shit out I drink the day’s first coffee And I smoke the last cigarette of my life [Verse 4] And I'm wondering out of all the crazy places that I've been Would it ever be as good as sittin' 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 and blue And decides just when you're in or when you're out 'Cause when you're through, you're through [Post-Chorus] Yeah, yeah Whoa, oh Whoa Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh [Bridge] Janis sings to me just like she's sittin' 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 dyin' [Verse 5] And my friends have asked the question: "Baby, will you be okay?" I wanna tell them yes, 'cause I know that's what I should say But I've got no crystal ball And I can't bring myself to lie and why should I? Hey, yeah, I think that [Chorus] Life is just a little part of what this world will do It brings you to the brink, it 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 you to the brink, it beats the shit right out of 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 Mmm So when you're through, you're through
