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
To put you through hell

Someone you have to let in
Someone whose 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
I'll 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 me chair
And ruin me 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
As frightened as you to help us survive,
Being alive, being alive, being alive, being alive
