I never was a very good singer.

Let the disappointments pass, let the laughter fill your glass.

The idea that I wrote something that stood for the way I feel about things, and that it lasts, that's probably my favorite thing that I've done.

Say a prayer for the pretender, who started out so young and strong only to surrender.

I followed those highway signs and I've run down those thin white lines.

Very often it's really inconvenient - who you fall in love with. You can't really control it.

It's not like I'm looking to describe something that's only true of my own circumstances. It's beyond. It's way inside, you know. It's reaching inside to something that you have in common with many.
