All the windows were dark as I drove past the house. I was gathering dust, but I'm much better now. It's not about getting older, it's about giving up, and I refuse to believe they're the same. I know I've been quiet, I don't mean to be. Every time that I've tried to I just couldn't speak. But you told me you loved me and I could suddenly see that was all that I'd needed to say.
This life will steal our voices if we let it. Don't ever stop... please don't stop singing. We can let the world silence what we love – silence a part of us – or we can smile and go down fighting.
Shannon moved to Texas, the last time we spoke, and she wasn't the first or the last one to go. But the coffee shop's quiet, the studio's cold. I'm not sorry if I'm sorry sometimes. I wrote about Graham once, and his newest song. I'm sure that dozens more followed that I never heard. I hope he's headlining somewhere, it seems like someone should be. I hope it's him, if it can't be me.
It's not just this, it's everything. But don’t worry, love, you are all that I need. It's not just this, it's everything. But we are so much more than we've been led to believe. It's not just this, it's everything. But Jackie, I promise, you are all that I need. And all these songs I can't not sing were never as wasted as I used to think.
