Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Can you feel what's beneath?
Is it stone cold under your feet?
Are you numb? Can you touch?
Is the silence a little too much?
And all you wanna do is break out
[Chorus]
So, when you feel there's nothing left
Oh, there's still a heart beating in your chest
And when you're running from the flood
Oh, you've got nowhere left to run
It's just science, don't let it break you down
[Verse 2]
You can dance on your own
It's okay 'cause you're not alone
You can hide, you will love
You'll have your days in the sun
But all you wanna do is break out
[Chorus]
So, when you feel there's nothing left
Oh, there's still a heart beating in your chest
And when you're running from the flood
Oh, you've got nowhere left to run
Oh, when you feel you're sinking, overthinking
Time is crashing down
Oh, if you need somebody
The world is too heavy to shine
It's not too late now
[Outro]
It's just science
Don't let it break you
Don't let it break you down
Don't let it break you down
Mmm, it's just science
Don't let it scare you
Don't let it scare you now
