WHEN I WAS YOUNG, UM, BEFORE I STARTED
HAVING ANY KIND OF ACTUAL KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT LOVE WAS,
I WOULD WRITE SONGS ABOUT LOVE THAT I HAD READ ABOUT.
AND, UM, I READ ABOUT THESE TWO TEENAGERS,
THESE TWO STAR-CROSSED LOVERS WHO COULDN'T BE TOGETHER,
WHO WANTED TO RUN AWAY TOGETHER.
AND I THOUGHT, "MAN, I REALLY WISH THEY HAD A --
A HAPPIER ENDING."
THEIR NAMES WERE ROMEO AND JULIET,
AND THIS SONG'S CALLED "LOVE STORY."
