The talking bit in this song:
"I've tried every approach to living, I've tried tried it all. I haven't tried everything, but I've tried every approach. Sometimes you have to try everything to get the approach the same but... I've tried it all. I've bought a bunch of stuff and I went err I don't like that, I kind of came in and out of that a couple of times. I thought I would shut myself off I thought maybe that's cool maybe thats what you have to do to be a genius, is you have to be mad. So if you can get mad before the word genius then maybe you can make genius appear, right? That doesn't work either. And I'm in a good place, I've paced myself pretty well, I'm 30, I've seen some cool stuff, I've made a lot of stuff happen for myself. I've made a lot of stuff happen for myself, right. That's a really cool sentence when you're in your 20s, 'I made it happen for myself...' right. But all that means that I've somehow made a way to synthesize love or synthesize soothing. You can't get that, and what I'm saying that is I've tried at best with all the approaches except one and i'ts gonna sound really corny but that's just LOVE. That's just love. I've done everything in my life that I wanna do except just give and feel love for my living. And I don't mean like roman candle firework hollywood hot pink love... I mean like, I GOT YOUR BACK love. I don't need to hear I love you, you guys love me I love you, we got that down. But some of the people who will tell you that they love you are some of the people who at the last, just have your back. So I'm gonna experiment with this love thing, giving love, feeling love. I know it sounds really corny but it's the last thing I got to check out, before I checkout."
