Keep Me In The Open (MTV Unplugged Live In Melbourne)

I don't know if I blame you for being so distant
 But I'm tryna be real with you
 And god, it's been a hell of a week
 And I just wanna relate to you in a true way
 If it means being here with you
 Then hey, I am trying to be
 I'll always struggle to think of you in a harsh way
 I know that it's weird
 But I still see you for the human beneath
 I wish that I was in love with your endless bullshit
 But I'm a "heart-in-the-gutter" type
 Asleep on a stranger's knee
 I'm getting used to the sleepless hours from sundown
 The terrible dreams that lead me inward
 To terrible truths
 But in my blood
 Some electric holy yearning
 Carries an impulse to get shitfaced on you
 Tell me how I can do this thing
 Tell me how I can help this thing go easily
 'Coz I'm trying, honeybee
 Tell me how I can beat this thing
 Tell me how I can make this beast die easily
 Goddamn it, honeybee
 And get a load of the kid in the Gang Green t-shirt
 They were the gateway band
 A pastor and the teacher to me
 I used to wanna be real with the things they believed in
 But since we've been talking
 I'm not sure if I believe anything
 Take a look at the girl with the long range rifle
 The one with the crew cut
 She reminds me of a version of you
 Laying low in a field some place in Mosul
 Wholly emulsified by fear and aversion to truth
 When did everything get this weird?
 How the fuck did it start?
 Did you ever believe in me?
 Was it always so hard?
 Tell me how I can do this thing
 Tell me how I can help this thing go easily
 'Coz I'm trying, honeybee
 The line is close
 The wait is hardly normal
 So just be real
 In any way you can be
 The heart is closed
 But keep me in the open
 'Coz I deserve better than this
 The line is close
 The wait is hardly normal
 So just be real
 In any way you can be
 The heart is closed
 But keep me in the open
 'Coz I deserve better than this
 Yeah I deserve better than this
 And I deserve better than this
 'Coz I deserve better than this
 And I deserve better than this
 'Coz I deserve better than this
