Oh

Oo-ooh

[Verse 1]

Sometimes somebody can bring you down so far

Below anywhere you've gone


[Whistling, unintelligible vocalization]

Sometimes somebody can bring you down so far

Below anywhere you know

So much so fast

Feels like you can't take the pain

But remember

There's no going back


[Pre-Chorus]

Something's so broken down

Busted and underground

But here's your chance to surrender


[Chorus]

Thanks to you

I had a nervous breakthrough

Thanks to you

I had a nervous breakthrough

Thanks to you

I had a nervous breakthrough

Thanks to you

I had a nervous breakthrough


[Verse 2]

Lay down your gun

(Oh-ohh)

Lay down your pack

It's time

(Oh-ohh)

To recognize

(Oh-ohh)

The fact (Yeahhhh!)

That all the best things make you nervous

And all the best things

Come in disguise


[High-pitched screaming]

So much so fast

Feels like you can't take the pain

But remember

There's no going back


[Pre-Chorus]

Something's so broken down

Busted and underground

But here's your chance to surrender


[Chorus]

Thanks to you

I had a nervous breakthrough

Thanks to you

I had a nervous breakthrough

Thanks to you

I had a nervous breakthrough

Thanks to you

I had a nervous breakthrough

Did you know we're going down to the ground

Can you tell I'm happy that I found

(Thanks to you)

Thanks to you I got music in my soul

Thanks to you I'm lettin' everybody know

(Thanks to you)

It's the thing that creeps into your feet (Whoa-uh) (Yeah!)

It's the thing that flows into the beat

(Thanks to you)

I was off kilter, now I got shelter

Thanks to you I'm gonna breakthrough

(Thanks to you)

Oh, yeahhh

Oh, yeahhh
