I go back to December, turn around and make it alright I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind I go back to December all the time

It was the night things changed, can you see it now? These walls that they put up to hold us back fell down It's a revolution, throw your hands up, 'cause we never gave in

It doesn't bother me when people try to deconstruct my songs - because at least they're looking at the lyrics, and paying attention to the way the story is told.

I think I have to trust that you end up with the person you're supposed to end up with, and that everything in between is there to teach you stuff.

I feel like in my music I can be a rebel. I can say things I wouldn't say in real life.

Ever since I was a little kid I've been so glad to be from America and so glad to live here.

One of my goals from really early on was that if I was ever fortunate enough to be successful in music, I would want to stay the same person and the same songwriter.
