I woke up one early evening and i knew i was alone 
Did the [bad word] 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 your in or when your out 
'Cuz when your through your through 

Theres a cafe round the corner from the home 
I call a house i sit and play sudoku 'til i figure some [bad word] 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 your black and blue 
And decides just when your in or when your out 
'Cuz when your through your through 

Janis sings to me just like shes 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 my friend 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, yeahhhh i think that.. 
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 your in or when your out 
'Cuz when your through your through 

Yeah, yeah, yeah 
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 your in or when your out 
'Cuz when your through your through 

Ayyye, Oh. 
I guess I'm through 
Mmmmm 
When you're through, you're through.
