So what I do, more than play any instrument - I mean, I love to play - but more than that, I write songs. Songs that are about living, about what it's like to be going through all the things that people go through in life.

No matter how fast I run, I can't get away from me.

I look around for the friends I used to turn to pull me through. Looking into their eyes, I see them running, too.
