the thing that makes me get through

Singer: michael franti & spearhead

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

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

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
