Briefly

Wake me up, slap my face

Draw me closer in to your embrace'Cause nobody wants to be the butt of every joke

And nobody wants to be the one to pull the rope

So you harden your shell, slowly losing yourselfAnd now I'm close but not touching

And I'm cold but not freezing

And I'm only alive, only alive

BrieflyCan you feel, could you love?

Are you further now from where you started?

I bet you do enough just to get by

Don't you?'Cause nobody wants to be the butt of every joke

And nobody wants to be the one who's full of hope

And a cop's light goes by and the moon lights the nightAnd now I'm close, but not touching

And I'm cold, but not freezing

And I'm only alive, only alive

BrieflyAnd you're a starlight that shines

For a moment in time

In time
