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 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 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
As frightened as you, to help us survive
Being alive
Being alive
Being alive
