Sometimes I'm down on the ground
|
When you come around
|
And my head feels heavy like it's fifty pounds
|
Of a world gone crazy, but you tell me I'm not
|
I just got to release, but I'm tied up in knots
|
I'm feelin' so darn tired, and I wanna let go
|
I wanna dive in the ocean and in your undertow
|
You pick me up when I need you cuz I'm feelin' low
|
You pick me up when I need you cuz I, I, I
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
Nobody knows what you doin' when you do to me
|
The things you always do
|
Nobody knows what you doin' when you do to me
|
The thing that helps me get through
|
Nobody knows what you doin' when you do to me
|
The thing that feels so good
|
Nobody knows what you doin' when you do to me
|
You do the thing that helps me get thrOUGH...to you
|
|
It's a crazy world, a mixed up world
|
Involving politics and the underworld
|
You shake it up a little, you see another side
|
You see a flower grow, and then a suicide
|
But if you're all alone, you know you're not alone
|
There are plenty of people ready to take you home
|
One day you're cuttin' class, and then you're buyin' gas
|
And then you're out on your own and they kick you in the ass
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
Under the city lights, and when we're on the phone
|
Even in the streets, and when we're all alone
|
You do the thing that helps me get through
|
The thing that helps me get through
|
You do the thing that helps me get through
|
To you
|
|
[CHORUS]
