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
Who'll always be there as frightened as you
Of being alive, being alive, 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,
As frightened as you,
To help us survive
Being alive,
Being alive,
Being alive!

Somebody, hold me too close,
Somebody, hurt me too deep,
Somebody, sit in my chair.
Somebody, crowd me with love
Somebody, need me
Somebody, know me

Somebody, let me come through,
Somebody, sit in my chair
And force me to care
And make me aware
And ruin my sleep

Being alive,
Being alive,
Being alive!
