Words May Move, But They're Never Moving

I Was A Nervous Young Man. I Wanted To Do So Many Things. And I Was So Enthusiastic And Earnestly In Love With So Many Things That I Tried Too Hard. I Tried Really, Really Hard. And I Made A Lot Of Mistakes. I Was Afraid Of A Lot Of Stuff. And I Kind Of Feel Bad For That Person I Was.

I'm Never Argumentative For The Sake Of Being Argumentative, I Don't Think. And More Than Ever, I've Had To Be Willing To Fight Just To Get Records Released, Or Just To Be Able To Walk Away With A Little Bit Of Self-respect And Pride.

While You Can Fill Every Heart As Your Own Full Of Laughter Loud As Gold And Passion Quick As Silver.

I Can Sort Of Will That Stuff To Happen To Me If I Put Myself In The Right Headspace. Then I Can Actually Get To A Space Where It Won't Just Be One Song That Comes Through, But A Series Of Them.

I Got On The Phone With The President Of My Label And I Said, "obviously, I Write Songs In A Lot Of Styles And Play A Lot Of Different Kinds Of Music. We're Getting Toward The End Of Our Business Collaboration. If You Could Envision A Record That You Wanted To Hear From Me, What Kind Of Record Would It Be?" It Wasn't Like Asking Him To Fill An Order, It Was Really Just A Conversation. For All The Things I'd Ever Asked Him, This Was One Thing I'd Never Asked, And I Don't Know Why. So I Was Curious. And The Thing That He Was Most Interested In Hearing Was A Solo Record.
