One is fall from a shooting star when it's fall for, because it was like a love story.

Did you fall for a shooting star?

Somebody that's not gonna make the distance with you.

One without a permanent scar, because I have so many scars all over me.

And the other was I got a lot of heat because at the time the internet was just starting to become a way to communicate.

And I got a lot of grief from Van Halen fans because they thought I was saying, and Van Halen is overrated.

He's like, I will kill you.

And I was like, dude, I love Van Halen.

What are you even talking about?

Or not one that I ever would.

I'm a huge Van Halen fan.

I wouldn't say this to your students tomorrow, by the way.

Okay.

Yeah.

Because it's also, that would be like holding on to what you wrote the song about and then wanting everyone to interpret it the same way.

Like, I don't want anyone to interpret it the way I interpret it.

I want them to see their children and their lover and their, whoever they want to see when they sing the song, you know, in the shower at these concerts.

It's not my story.

And if she wants to not add the D like that, that's her way of expressing that.

Until you send it out, then it's not, it can always mean what it means to me.
