I have an obsession with knowing the answers to things. When I don't know what happened, it just bothers me, gets under my skin, and I need to write about it.

I miss you more than the sun misses the sky at night.

Here I was again tonight forcing laughter, faking smiles Same old tired, lonely place

When I was a teenager I felt like we were always being stereotyped as being really intense and dramatic and passionate and hopelessly romantic and excitable, now in retrospect I think I need to let you know those things are amazing. I hope you never lose those things.

I love to write honest songs that name real people, then get up onstage and live out those emotions in front of 15,000 people.

I grew up on a Christmas tree farm with all this space to run around, and the [freedom] to be a crazy kid with tangled hair.

The one place where I'm allowed to rebel, and the one place where I'm allowed to not worry about censoring myself is my music.
