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 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
