And just about the time I feel like screaming and finding me a wall to punch right through, I look up and I just can't help smiling, it's you.
I want to be sure I can deliver what people expect to hear. I just don't know if I can physically do it. Or if I should.
I write a lot of songs people don't hear. I really just enjoy the process. I finish 'em all. I don't think there's a whole lot of difference between the bad ones and the good ones.
