When We're Through
I woke up on early evening and I knew I was aloneDid the sun come up or did it rain again, I’ll never knowI felt the acid in my stomach rise above my throat as I dialled
There was a message from my motherFrom about 7a.m. said I’ve forgotten what you sound likeAnd I’m wonderin’ how you’ve beenI cried myself to asleep back on the floorUnconscious in denial
Life is just a little part of what the world will doTo get it’s point across it beats you ‘til you’re black & blueAnd 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 houseI sit and play sudoku ‘til I figure some shit outI 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 beenWould 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 doTo get it’s point across it beats you ‘til you’re black & blueAnd 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 sideAnd I wonder just how many times she sat like me and criedI’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 sayBut 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 doIt’s bring us to the brink and beats the shit right outta youAnd decides just when you’re in or when you’re out‘Cause when you’re through you’re through
Yeah, Yeah, YeahLife is just a little part of what the world will doIt’s brings us to the brink and beats the sh1t right outta youAnd decides just when you’re in or when you’re outWhen you’re through you’re through
Ayyye, Oh.I guess I’m throughMmmmmWhen you’re through, you’re through.
