[G] So the next song is one of those songs that you never know, you can use it for whatever it is you want to use it for.
You can use it for relationships if that makes you feel better.
[F#] It was written about a time when I was like 12 or 13.
I didn't write it when I was 12 or 13, but it was about that time.
When my mother had cancer, and she's okay now, but it was a weird period to be that age.
To be having to take care of yourself and take care of your mom.
Mom sleeps all the time.
Why does mom sleep all the time?
You don't get it.
That's what the song that came out of it.
Nobody ever picked up on it, which like I said, is just as good.
I think it would lose something universal about a song that makes it kind of special to everybody.
Because you're supposed to be able to take it into your own and use it for whatever you want.
If you want to, while you listen to it, you can use it for [G] that.
