Playing music to me is as close to having super powers as you can have.
Stop falling in love with everything that lets you down, even if your hands are shaking and your faith is broken, even as the eyes are closing, do it with a heart wide open. Say what you need to say.
Never, ever underestimate the power of 'Id Like that.
I'm the only person I know who's got a bunch of money.
I'm trying everything I can not to be jaded 'cause I don't like jaded musicians.
The outcome of a still veracitless life. Am I livin' it right?
I was smart enough to know it would probably make me a salable item for the paparazzi. I knew I'd have to move to a home that had a gate. But that pearl of possibility that lives in your heart when you meet somebody you want to know more about has such a different molecular density than everything else that you have to pursue it.

They say stay in the lines, but there's always something better on the other side.
I believe that my life's gonna see the love I give returned to me.

I just wish they'd put a new word in the dictionary bigger than love because love just doesn't describe what I feel.
Tore up my heart and shut it down. Nothing to do, nowhere to be. A simple little kind of free. Nothing to do, no one but me, and that's all I need. I'm perfectly lonely.
