I love you more than songs can say, but I can’t keep running after yesterday…
If you had started doing anything two weeks ago, by today you would have been two weeks better at it.
How dare you say it’s nothing to me?Baby, you’re the only light I ever saw.
Take all of your wasted honorEvery little past frustrationTake all of your so-called problems,Better put ’em in quotations
Everybody is a stranger, but that’s the danger in going my own way.
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.
This is not to say, there never comes a day I’ll take my chances and start again. And when I look behind on all my younger times, I’ll have to thank the wrongs that led me to a love so strong.
I hope that what it comes down to at the end of the day is that people believe that I believe what I’m singing. It comes down to being believable. You don’t have to be likeable; generally, though, I think I am.
My fear is that I go up to the girl of my dreams and say ‘I’m sorry, but I’ve got to say hello to you,’ and she slides the stool back and gets up and walks away, saying, ‘Not for me, Bub. I don’t want anything to do with you.’
Who I am as a guitarist is defined by my failure to become Jimi Hendrix.
I’ve never done anything because I thought it would look cool.
I’m willing to make compromises based on someone I think is the one, but I think it’s psychologically important to people when they’re famous to be the only famous person they know.
There’s a constantly applicable nature to soul music, whereas sometimes pop music can be a periodical.
You get to a certain age where you prepare yourself for happiness. Sometimes you never remember to actually get happy.
I’m getting to a point where everything is becoming streamlined in my life. I’m learning how to stand onstage for two hours and play in front of thousands of people as if I am completely in the moment every moment.
Sometimes I get so bold and I’m so confident about what I’m doing that I actually try to be more of a dork because it’s a really liberating feeling to experience what it’s like to not care.
I can’t even explain to you how terrible that feels, that I equate dating a woman with punishment, shame, guilt, disappointment, reproach, reprimand, persecution. It’s a nightmare.
I hate being the heartbreaker. Hate it. If I date somebody and it doesn’t work out, it’s another nightmare for me.
Have you ever loved somebody, loved her completely, but had to end the relationship for life reasons?
A man’s got two shots for jewelry: a wedding ring and a watch. The watch is a lot easier to get on and off than a wedding ring.
