Someone to hold you too close,
Someone to hold you too deep,
Someone to sit in your chair
And ruin your sleep
And make you aware of being alive.
Someone to need you too much,
Someone to know you too well,
Someone to pull you up short
And out you through hell
And give you support
For being alive...
Being 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 hold me too close,
Somebody force me to care,
Somebody make me come through
I'll always be there
As frightened as you out
Being alive
Being alive
Being alive...
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
Of being 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 make come through
I'll always be there
As frightened as you
To help us survive...
Being alive
Being alive
Being alive...
Being alive!
