The Fate of Ophelia": This is my gentle hint to fans that I will die one day."

Elizabeth Taylor": This is not about the actress. The song is named after my podiatrist."

Eldest Daughter": This song was initially titled Only Child', but then I remembered I have a brother."

Ruin The Friendship": This one is total dog shit. I loathe it, but the album needed an extra song."

Eagles 40, Chiefs 22": It's important in every relationship to regularly remind your partner of their biggest failures."

Wish List": I want for nothing and that's why this track is complete silence."

Wood": I couldn't resist letting Travis name one of the songs. Not sure what it means. Love ya, babe!"

Born In The U.S.A": I don't know where the title for this came from. Art is funny like that."

Honey": This is a kiss-off track to bees who think they can act big and sting people just because they make honey."

The Life Of A Showgirl" (featuring Sabrina Carpenter): Sorry, Sabrina, but nobody breaks out as a pop star in this country without giving mama a taste."
