The Thing That Helps Me Get Through - Michael Franti & Spearhead
Sometimes I’m down on the ground
When you come on 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
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
You do the thing that helps me
Get through
You do the thing that helps me
Get through to you
To you to you to you
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
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
You do the thing that helps me
Get through
You do the thing that helps me
Get through to you
To you
