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
