“Being alive”
Company the musical

‘Oh its from a song called being alive. From the POV of a guy who is discovering what being together with someone includes and what it means to him personally since he’s so invested with getting with someone despite everyone having no idea why he would want that when he’s surrounded by terrible pairings and the lyrics transformations has 2 versions
[Someone to make you come through Who’ll always be there As frightened as you Of being alive]
[I’ll always be there As frightened as you To help us survive]
Ended up combining so the last line would be “of being alive "because
A) i mixed them in my head with patti lupones version somehow, but the point is that the person next to them is terrified of being alive
B) I think it fit with tohru and akito being so scared of living in a world where tohru moves on from her mom vs akito being scared of a world where it isn’t a certainty that she will be loved But both are a condition of being alive. And as foils tohru found her. Just absolutely terrified. Just like she is. Offering to be her friend. ” ill always be there As frightened as you Of being alive" ‘.

Nice, you are right, it really fits to them very well ^^.
