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
