[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
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 & blue
And decides just when you're in or when you're out
'Cause when you're through, you're through

[Verse 2]
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
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 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 & blue
And decides just when you're in or when you're out
'Cause when you're through, you're through
Yeah, Yeah
Whoa, oh
Whoa
Oh, oh, oh
Oh

[Verse 3]
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 dying
And my friends have asked the question: "Baby, will you be okay?"
I wanna tell them yes 'cause I know that is what I should say
But I've got no crystal ball
And I can't bring myself to lie and why should I?

[Chorus]
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 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 us to the brink and beats the shit right out to 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
Mmmm
'Cause when you're through, you're through
