“I wrote a song, but I can't read music, so I don't know what it is. Every once in a while, I'll be listening to the radio and I say, I think I might have written that.”

Simplified Meaning:

Imagine someone who loves making up tunes in their head but never learned to read or write music notes. They can create beautiful songs, but they cannot properly record them on paper. Sometime later, they hear a melody on the radio that sounds familiar. They start to wonder if it's one of their own melodies because they never kept a proper record of their work. This situation is like if someone drew a pretty picture but didn’t sign it or forgot where they put it. Later, if they see a similar picture somewhere, like in a gallery, they might think, "Did I draw that?" They’re unsure because they haven’t learned the skills to mark or recall their creations clearly. Living like this means they have moments of surprise and uncertainty. Learning the proper skills, like reading music or signing your work, helps keep track of your creations. This can make you feel more confident and proud of what you’ve done. People should invest time in mastering their craft to avoid such confusion and truly enjoy the fruits of their labor.
