When We're Through

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 dialled

There was a message from my mother

From about 7am said I've forgotten what you sound like

And I'm wonderin' how you've been

I cried myself to asleep back on the floor

Unconscious in denial

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

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

I sit and play sudoku 'til I figure some sh*t 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 sittin' here just with a friend?

Where it's 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 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

Yeah Yeah

Whoaaaah Ohhhh

Whoaaaaahhhhhh

Ohhhh Ohhh Ohhh

Oh

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 dyin'

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 yeahhhh I think that

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

It's bring us to the brink and beats the sh*t right outta 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 the world will do

It's brings us to the brink

And beats the sh*t right outta you

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

When you're through you're through

Ayyye Oh

I guess I'm through

Mmmmm

When you're through you're through
