Being Alive

Someone to hold you too close

Someone to hurt you too deep

Someone to sit in your chair

to ruin your sleep

Someone to need you too much

Someone to know you too well

Someone to pull you up short

And put you through hell

Someone you have to let in

Someone who's feelings you spare

Someone who like it or not

will want you to share

a little, a lot

Someone to crowd you with love

Someone to force you to care

Someone to make you come through

will always be there,

As frightened as you, of

Being alive

Being alive

Being alive

Being alive

Somebody hold me too close

Somebody hurt me too deep

Somebody sit in my chair

And ruin my sleep

And make me aware of

Being alive... being alive

Somebody need me too much

Somebody know me too well

Somebody pull me up short

And put me through hell

And give me support for being alive

Make me alive

Make me alive,

make me confused

Mock me with praise,

let me be used

Vary my days,

but alone is alone,

Not alive!

Somebody crowd me with love

Somebody force me to care

Somebody let me come through

I'll always be there,

Frightened as you,

To help us survive being alive

Being alive

Being alive

Being alive
