I don't understand the ones that have no sense of hope and invest in hate. That's not gonna work out, you know? It's a waste of your time!

More quotes by Tom Petty

And I'd show you stars you never could see
Baby, it couldn't have been that easy to forget about me.

I'm in for the long run
Wherever it goes
Ridin' the river
Wherever it goes.

Think of me what you will,
I've got a little space to fill.

It's alright if you love me,
It's alright if you don't.
I'm not afraid of you runnin' away,
Honey I get the feeling you won't.

Let me get to the point
Let's roll another joint
Turn the radio loud
I'm too alone to be proud.
