When We're Through

I woke up one 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 7am

Said I've forgotten what you sound like

And I'm wondering how you've been

I cried myself to sleep back on the floor unconscious in denial

Life is just a little part of what the world will do

To get its point across it beats you 'til your black and blue

And decides just when you're in or when your out

'Cuz when you're through you're through

There's a cafe around the corner from the home I call a house

I sit and play sudoku 'til I figure some shit out

I drink the days 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 its always understood it might be time

To switch the coffee to the wine

Life is just a little part of what the world will do

To get its point across it beats you 'til you're black and blue

And decides just when you're in or when you're out

'Cuz when you're through you're through

Yeah, Yeah

Whoaaaah, Oh

Whoaahh

Ohhhh, Ohhh, Ohhh

Oh

Janis sings to me just like she's sitting by my side

And I wonder just how many times shes sat like me and cried

I've made it passed the age of 27

So theres no use in dying

And all my friends have asked the question

"Baby will you be ok?"

I wanna tell them yes 'cuz I know thats what I should say

But I've got no crystal ball and I cant bring myself to lie and why should I?

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 outta you

And decides just when you're in or when you're out

'Cuz 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 outta you

And decides just when you're in or when you're out

'Cuz when you're through you're through

Ayyye, Oh

I guess I'm through

When you're through, you're through
