Living in Your Letters (MTV Unplugged)

I'm always assuming the worst,

But you're going on none the less

& theres nothing to cusion your heart led fall.

Letters from further away

Keep pulling me close to home.

And theres something to cushion my callous sighs.

And I know that you hope for

Longer good-byes

Embracing for forever

And falling in your eyes.

Pouring over photographs.

I'm living in your letters.

Breathe deeply from this envelope

It smells like you & I can't be

Without that scent. its filling me

With all you mean to me.

Continually failing these trials

But you stand by me nonetheless

& you won't let me sink

Though I'm beggin you.

Phone calls from further away

& messages on my machine,

But I don't ever tell you this distance

Seems terrible.

There is no need to test my heart,

With useless space.

These roads go on forever

& so do you and i.

So Ill hit the pavement

Its gotta be better than waiting

& pushing you far away

Cause I'm scared.

So Ill take my chances

& head on my way up there.

Cause turning to you is like falling in love when you're ten.
