It's kind of a practical thing to do it this way,
I'll start drinking like the way I drank before. And I just won't have a future anymore.
It's not what you know, but what you're thinking half the time
I keep drinking the ink from my pen, and I'm balancing history books up on my head, but it all boils down to one quotable frase; if you love something, give it away!
And it all boils down to one quotable phrase... "If you love something, give it away.
The sound of loneliness makes me happier.
We've all seen the power music has to spread messages of solidarity and hope.
And I never thought this life was possible,You're the yellow bird that I've been waiting for. In polaroids you were dressed in women's clothes Were you made ashamed, why'd you lock them in a drawer? Well, I don't think that I ever loved you more Well let the poets cry themselves to sleep And all their tearful words will turn back into steam The sound of loneliness makes me happier
My head's a carousel of pictures and The spinning never stops.
Everything must belong somewhere. I know that now, that's why I'm staying here.
If I loved you, well that's my fault
I like the Alice in Wonderland sculpture in Central Park. I love how it's been rained on forever and looks worn down by time.
The only thing major labels can really offer is money.
I always embrace the worst-case scenario.
