Briefly - Better Than Ezra

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 yourself

And now I’m close

But not touching

And I’m cold

But not freezing

And I’m only alive

Only alive

Briefly

Can 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 night

And now I’m close

But not touching

And I’m cold

But not freezing

And I’m only alive

Only alive

Briefly

And you’re a starlight that shines

For a moment in time

In time
