I find it harder to write the lyrics afterwards because then you're just trying to fit them into something that's already there.

And it was then that I realized wow, I'm able to write lyrics and sing and stuff like that.

After that, I specifically started writing lyrics. I would like sweat and think and get it all together.

It's a gift that I have and I became good at it. When I heard my first song I didn't even know that I could write songs.

But when you get to a song, not only do you have to do a vocal melody, you have to write words and not be redundant and make some semblance of a story.

I've never written lyrics. I get up in front of a microphone, and I just sing what comes to the top of my head.

I have a really hard time writing my own lyrics for this record, because one, I had to write so many and also I was kind of perplexed by the idea of how I was going to sing and play... because at that time, we hadn't really thought about asking someone else.

There's something different that happens when you're writing a song for your own record that you know you're going to sing.

There's a whole bunch of unfinished stuff. Then I've got books of lyrics. I find it frustrating to finish a song and not be able to record it... so I don't write a million songs.
