Ummm *thinks* Sometimes I have something to say, lots of times I don't have something especific to say, but the song itself ends up saying something and even more lots of times I don't have anything to say and the song doesn't say a thing, but ends up bein just another song about broken relations/teenage angst/whatever.
I think only 2 oir 3 times I sat down and wrote about something especific. Most of the time, i don't even sat down. I'm on the bus or taking a shower or something and a verse comes to me.
