Living in Your Letters (MTV Unplugged Version)

I'm always assuming the worst

But you're going on nonetheless

And there's nothing to cushion your heart led fall

Letters from further away keep pulling me close to home

And there's something to cushion my callous sighs

And I know that you hope for longer good-byes

Embracing for forever and falling in your eyes

In your eyes, your eyes

Pouring over photographs, I'm living in your letters

Breathe deeply from this envelope

It smells like you and I can't be without that scent

It's filling me with all you mean to me, to me

Continually failing these trials

But you stand by me nonetheless

And you won't let me sink though I'm beggin' you, I'm beggin' you

Phone calls from further away and 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, there'll always be a place

For you in my heart

So I'll hit the pavement, it's gotta be better than waiting

And pushing you far away 'cause I'm scared

So I'll take my chances and head on my way up there

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