Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time.
I wish I had a nickel for every time I fell and blamed someone else. I'd give a ton of money to the ones I've hurt.

Set yourself the bolder course. Keep your heart an open shrine.
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 always loved music. You know, my parents said I started singing when I was 4, in the car.
