　　lyrics to Thieves：
　　There's thieves among us
　　Painting the walls
　　With all kinds of lies, and lies
　　I never told it all
　　What's in my pocket?
　　You never knew
　　You didn't know me well
　　So well, as I knew you
　　
　　And I know, and you know too
　　That a love like ours is terrible news
　　But that wont stop me crying
　　No, that wont stop me crying over you
　　
　　I'm not a prophet
　　Old love is in me
　　New love just seeps right in
　　And, it makes me guilty
　　Why do you look like that?
　　It's not all that bad
　　I'll see you sometime
　　Sometimes, lonely isn't sad
　　
　　And I know, and you know too
　　That a love like ours is terrible news
　　But that wont stop me crying
　　No, that wont stop me crying over you
　　Ouuuuuuuuu
　　No, that wont stop me crying over you
　　
　　We two are makers
　　Just made this mess
　　Two broken hearts don't beat
　　Any less, oh
　　There's thieves among us
　　Painting the walls
　　With all kinds of lies, and lies
　　I never told it all
　　
　　And I know, and you know too
　　That a love, like ours
　　Is terrible news
　　But that wont stop me crying
　　
　　No, that wont stop me crying over you
　　Ouuuuuuuuu
　　No, that wont stop me crying over you
　　Ouuuuuuuuu
　　No, that wont stop me crying over youuuuuuuuu
　　Youuuuuuuuu
　　Youuuuuuuuu

　　lyrics to In the Sun ：
　　
　　It's hard to be ignored
　　When I look at you
　　You look so bored
　　My baby, my darling
　　I've been taking a beating
　　
　　Well all right
　　(Well all right)
　　It's ok
　　(It's ok)
　　We all get the slip sometimes every day
　　I'll just keep it to myself
　　In the sun
　　In the sun
　　
　　It's hard to take the blame
　　When I look at you, you're so ashamed
　　My baby, my darling
　　I've been thinking of leaving
　　
　　Well all right
　　(Well all right)
　　It's ok
　　(It's ok)
　　We all get the slip sometimes every day
　　I'll just keep it to myself
　　In the sun
　　In the sun
　　
　　Well all right
　　(Well all right)
　　It's ok
　　(It's ok)
　　We all feel ashamed sometimes every day
　　I'll just keep it to myself
　　In the sun
　　In the sun

　　lyrics to Don't Look Back ：
　　Orpheus melted the heart of Persephone, but I never had yours
　　I followed you back to the end of the path, but I never found the door
　　
　　And you can work to save your love
　　You can bear it from the earth below
　　
　　You can work but you can't let go
　　Oh, oh but you have to know
　　
　　Don't look back all you'll ever get is the dust from the steps before
　　I don't have to see you every day, but I just want to know you're there
　　
　　Quietly took to the dark of the day and the hiss of the summer night
　　The heat of the breeze was a cell block wall and when I looked you were out of sight
　　
　　And you can work to save your love
　　You can bear it from the earth below
　　
　　You can work but you can't let go
　　Oh, oh but you have to know
　　
　　Don't look back all you'll ever get is the dust from the steps before
　　I don't have to see you every day, but I just want to know you're there
　　
　　And you can work to save your love
　　You can bear it from the earth below
　　
　　You can work but you can't let go
　　Oh, oh but you have to know
　　
　　Don't look back all you'll ever get is the dust from the steps before
　　I don't have to see you every day, but I just wan't to know you're there
　　
　　Don't look back all you'll ever get is the dust from the steps before
　　I don't have to see you every day, but I just want to know you're there
　　
　　Don't look back all you'll ever get is the dust from the steps before
　　I don't have to see you every day, but I just want to know you're there
　　
　　Don't look back all you'll ever get is the dust from the steps before

　　lyrics to Ridin' in My Car" (NRBQ cover)：
　　Remember last summer when we had the chance
　　To find each other, start making romance
　　But it didn't come off because you found another
　　Without one hand of a clock, what good is the other?
　　
　　And I can't find no true love, oh baby, it's so hard
　　And I still think about you every time I'm riding in my car
　　
　　So I went to the place where everybody hangs out
　　To see what everybody was talking about
　　And over in a corner all alone with you
　　Was a boy from last summer singing songs to you
　　
　　And he can't sing like I can sing, oh, it's so hard
　　And I still think about you every time I'm riding in my car
　　
　　When I'm home alone I can think of other things to do
　　But when I'm rolling in forward motion I think about only you
　　
　　It's been a year and a day since I talked to you
　　I don't know how I made it, but I sure have been blue
　　And every time I think about what might have been
　　I jump in my car and start riding again
　　
　　And I can't find no true love, oh baby, it's so hard
　　And I still think about you every time I'm riding in my car

　　lyrics to Lingering Still：
　　
　　I like to learn things slow
　　I like learning alot
　　I like to get it all again and in the end
　　You know you get what you got
　　I like to mean what I say
　　But it don't always come through
　　'Cause if i say it all again, again, again
　　It doesn't make it all true
　　
　　And the world's like a science
　　And I'm like a secret
　　And I saw you lingering still, still
　　I saw you lingering still
　　
　　It's all just news to me
　　Don't really care if it hurts
　　'Cause if I knock it I won't know it
　　Then I know that it will only get worse
　　He was different at first
　　But then he won't understand
　　Because he's never gonna know me
　　If he doesn't want to just shake my hand
　　
　　And the world's like a science
　　And I'm like a secret
　　And I saw you lingering still, still
　　I saw you lingering still
　　
　　And the world's like a science
　　And I'm like a secret
　　And I saw you lingering still, still
　　I saw you lingering still
　　
　　And the world's like a science
　　And I'm like a secret
　　And I saw you lingering still
　　I saw you lingering still

　　lyrics to Me and You：
　　Well I'm back in your good graces, again.
　　Remember when you told me that I was your only friend
　　well you made the best of this life where you never knew
　　one day from the next, dig your heels in a little girl
　　put them to the test
　　you gotta be kind to yourself.
　　you gotta be kind to yourself
　　
　　well i heard you had the blues again
　　seems like all those little things add up in the end
　　well i know that you heard a lot about things you can't control
　　so many things we like to have, we just cannot hold.
　　you gotta be kind to yourself.
　　you gotta be kind to yourself.
　　you gotta be kind to yourself.
　　you gotta be kind to yourself

　　lyrics to Gonna Get Along without You Now" (Skeeter Davis cover) ：
　　
　　Uh huh, mhmm
　　Gonna get along without you now
　　
　　You told me I was the neatest thing
　　You even asked me to wear your ring
　　You ran around with every girl in town
　　You didn't even care if it got me down
　　
　　Uh huh, mhmm
　　Gonna get along without you now
　　
　　Got along without you before I met you
　　Gonna get along without you now
　　Gonna find somebody that's twice as cute
　　Because I didn't like you anyhow
　　
　　You told everybody that we were friends
　　But this is where our friendship ends
　　Because all of a sudden you'd change your tune
　　You haven't been around since way last June
　　
　　Uh huh, mhmm
　　Gonna get along without you now
　　
　　So long my honey, goodbye my dear
　　
　　Aha, mhmm
　　Gonna get along without you now
　　
　　So long my honey, goodbye my dear

　　lyrics to home：
　　California is a great big nation of one
　　They never knew what they wanted til it was already gone
　　What do they do with the light in the morning when they wake up alone?
　　They just go home
　　They just go home
　　
　　Youre the nicest, nicest boy Ive ever met
　　and then
　　I think about you then I think about you again
　　And again
　　
　　Why dont we just sit and stare and do nothing?
　　Nothing at all for a while
　　I like the way you smile
　　
　　I could be your state and I could be your nation
　　It doesnt get better than home, now does it?
　　Doesnt get better than home, now does it? (x3)
　　
　　I could be your welcome, I could be your greeter
　　I could be sweet and I could be sweeter
　　I want to be where your heart is home (x3)
　　
　　I want to see you with the light in the morning
　　Theres never been such a beautiful warning to me, to me
　　Why dont we just sit and stare and do nothing?
　　Nothing at all for a while, I like the way you smile
　　
　　I could be your state and I could be your nation
　　It doesnt get better than home, now does it?
　　Doesnt get better than home, now does it? (x3)
　　
　　I could be your welcome, I could be your greeter
　　I could be sweet and I could be sweeter
　　I want to be where your heart is home (x3)
　　
　　I want to be where your heart is home...

　　lyrics to I'm Gonna Make It Better：
　　
　　
　　Looking for a letter Trace it in the Sand
　　Nothing was lost on the way
　　I couldn't stay holding your hand
　　Hours on the sidewalk staring at the sun
　　Everyone is wasting away wasting the day
　　jumping the gun
　　
　　I know it all comes full circle
　　it all comes crashing down on you
　　
　　Hide in your heart
　　Chase it til the morning
　　Sunlight is lost in your eyes
　　you never tried facing these things
　　Walking on a circle taking staking on a stride
　　Faces are not what they seem
　　I always dream facing the tide
　　
　　I know it all comes full circle,
　　It all comes crashing down on you
　　
　　I'm gonna make it make it better
　　I'm gonna get the best lock it and swallow the key
　　
　　I'm gonna make it make it better
　　I'm gonna get the best lock it and swallow the key
　　
　　I'm gonna make it make it better
　　I'm gonna get the best lock it and swallow the key
　　
　　I'm gonna make it make it better
　　I'm gonna get the best lock it and swallow the key

　　lyrics to sing：
　　Talking on the phone and watching "Cribs"
　　He doesn't know what kind of guy he is
　　He's got a gold-plated ceiling and a TV show
　　A broken heart and he doesn't even know
　　He's glad to see you, yes, he's glad to see you
　　Open your arms and sing
　　The world's been waiting
　　They've been waiting for years
　　And they've just got to hear it
　　The kids are waiting, they've been shedding tears
　　So open your arms and sing for us
　　
　　The world can be quiet when you're up too late
　　I'm just a childhood prisoner of the garden gate
　　If it's broke then kick it, dust yourself off
　　Find a quiet place and a have a good laugh
　　I'm glad to see you
　　Yes, I'm glad to see you

　　lyrics to Over It Over Again ：
　　Why do I always want to sock it to you hard?
　　Let you know what love is like when I'm keeping all my cards up on the shelf
　　Where you can't see them
　　Why do I always want to keep it to myself?
　　Taking advantage only works when you're leaving someone else out in the dark I didn't mean to
　　Running away from you Is just like running a business
　　And I'm keeping up with the games you play
　　Every day I've gotten over it over and over again I've gotten sick of it, a lick of it will suck me back in (repeat

　　lyrics to Brand New Shoes ：
　　
　　I had some brand new shoes
　　They were all red but they gave me the blues
　　And they're runnin' away, they left me a letter
　　It's just like you told me it'd be
　　It's nothin' nothin' nothin'
　　nothin' at all
　　
　　We are all made of air
　　There's stars in my eyes and there's sun in my hair
　　And I'm runnin' away, it makes me feel better
　　It's just like you told me it'd be
　　It's nothin' nothin' nothin'
　　nothin' at all
　　
　　When it comes down to this
　　I'm neither sorry nor cross nor unfit
　　And I'm runnin' away, there's smoke on my sweater
　　It's just like you told me it'd be
　　It's nothin' nothin' nothin'
　　nothin' at all
　　
　　I had some brand new shoes
　　They were all red but they gave me the blues
　　And they're running away, they left me a letter
　　It's just like you told me it'd be
　　It's nothin' nothin' nothin'
　　nothin' at all
　　at all
　　at all

　　lyrics to If You Can't Sleep：
　　
　　If you can't sleep, I'll be there in your dreams
　　I'll be there in your dreams if you can't sleep at all
　　And in your dreams, I'll touch your cheek
　　And lay my head on your shoulder
　　
　　Goodbye, shadows
　　
　　You're far away if you can't see my face
　　If the world is cold but the sun shines the same
　　Shut your eyes, there are bluer skies
　　For your embrace to my heart
　　
　　Goodbye, shadows
　　
　　If you can't sleep, I'll be there in your dreams
　　I'll be there in your dreams if you can't sleep at all
　　And in your dreams, I'll touch your cheek
　　And lay my head on your shoulder
