MTV Unplugged lyrics

I'm starting to fashion an idea in my head
Where I would impress you,
Where every single word I said
Would come out insightful or brave, or smooth, or charming
And you'd want to call me..
And I
Would be there every time
You need me;
I'd be there every time..

But for now,
I'll look
So longingly..
Waiting

For you to want me
For you to need me
For you to notice me

Always assuming the worst,
But you're going on none the less,
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 soften my callous sighs.

And I know that you hope for,
Longer good-byes.
Embracing for forever,
And falling in your eyes.
In your eyes.
In your eyes.

Pouring over photographs.

She fixes her lips,
They always looks perfect...
Never a smudge line,
Never too mu-ch.

I try on my blue shirt...
She told me she liked it, once.

She wonders what I'll wear,
She knows just what she'll wear,
She al-ways wears blue.

So sneakers or flip-flops?
I'm starting to panic.
Remember she asked you,
"Remember to bre-athe,
And every-thing will be o-kay."

Okay...Okay...
Alright...Alright...

So she says,
"Everyone's going to the party
Won't you come if I come
with a friend for your friend?
I'd be so pleased to see you
Out of the classroom,
Wearing the smile that I'll bring you.
I was hoping to learn a few things, like........
Do you do you like dishing the dirt
On the whole class,
Talking the big smack,
Or playing the fool?
Wearing all of the latest fashions

So this is odd.
The painful realization that all has gone wrong,
And nobody cares at all.
And nobody cares at all.

So you buried all your lover's clothes,
And burned the letters lover wrote,
But it doesn't make it any better.
Does it make it any better?
And the plaster dented from your fist,
In the hall where you had your first kiss,
Reminds you that the memories will fade.

So this is strange.

On the way home, this car hears my confessions.
I think tonight I'll take the long way.
In this weather, the wind outside is biting.
It's left me feeling tired and exposed.
You've been asking me to bleed.
It seems these kinds of questions, they come too easy to you now.
And your lack of shame comes naturally.
I should not be surprised. I should have seen it sooner.
