Being Alive
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Somebody to hold me too close
Somebody to hurt me too deep
Somebody to sit in my chair
And ruin my sleep
And make me aware of being alive,*make me alive*
Somebody need me too much
Somebody know me too well
Somebody pull me up short
And put me through hell
And give be 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 make me come through
I'll always be there
As frightened as you to help us survive,
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 me come through
I'll always be there
As frightened as you to help us survive,
Being alive, being alive, being alive, being alive
