At the school dances, I sit in the background, and I tap my toe, and I wonder how many couples will dance to โtheir song.โ In the hallways, I see the girls wearing the guysโ jackets, and I think about the idea of property.

And how many people enjoyed good times with those songs. And how much those songs really mean. I think it would be great to have written one of those songs. I bet if I wrote one of them, I would be very proud. I hope the people who wrote those songs are happy. I hope they feel it's enough. I really do because they've made me happy. And I'm only one person.
