1: Thieves
(Zooey Deschanel)
There’s thieves among us, painting the walls
With all kinds of lies, the lies I never told at 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 won’t stop me crying
No, that won’t stop me crying over you
I’m not a prophet, old love is in me
New love just seeps right in and 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 won’t stop me crying
No, that won’t stop me crying over you
No, that won’t 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, the lies I never told at all
And I know, and you know too
That a love like ours is terrible news
But that won’t stop me crying
No, that won’t stop me crying over you
No, that won’t stop me crying over you
No, that won’t stop me crying over you
You, you…
2: In The Sun
(Zooey Deschanel)
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 okay (it’s okay)
We all get the slip sometimes every day
I’ll just keep it to myself in the sun
In the sun
(Piano)
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 okay (it’s okay)
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 okay (it’s okay)
We all get the slip sometimes every day
I’ll just keep it to myself in the sun
In the sun
(Piano & Guitar)
3: Don’t Look Back
(Zooey Deschanel)
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 heat 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
4: Ridin’ In My Car
(Al Anderson)
Not Yet Available
5: Lingering Still
(Zooey Deschanel)
I like to learn things slow
I like learning a lot
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 more true
And if the world’s like a science and I’m like a secret
But I saw you lingering 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 if the world’s like a science and I’m like a secret
But I saw you lingering still
I saw you lingering still
6: Me And You
(Zooey Deschanel)
Well I’m back in your good graces again
Remember when you told me that I was your only friend?
Well you’ve made the best of this life
Where you never knew one day from the next
Dig your heels in, little girl, put ‘em to the test
You’ve got to be kind to yourself
You’ve got to be kind to yourself
Well I heard you had the blues again
It seems like all those little things add up in the end
Well I know that you worry a lot about things you can’t control
There are so many things we’d like to have
But we just cannot hold
You’ve got to be kind to yourself
You’ve got to be kind to yourself
7: Gonna Get Along Without You Now
(Skeeter Davis)
(Taken from the live BBC version; will be updated to the album version soon)
Ah-ha, mm-hmm, Gonna get along without you now
Ah-ha, mm-hmm, 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
Ah-ha, mm-hmm, Gonna get along without you now
Ah-ha, mm-hmm, Gonna get along without you now
You told everybody that we were friends
But this is where our friendship ends
’cause all of a sudden you changed your tune
You haven’t been around since way last June
Ah-ha, mm-hmm, Gonna get along without you now
Ah-ha, mm-hmm, Gonna get along without you now
So long my honey, goodbye my dear
(Guitar)
Ah-ha, mm-hmm, Gonna get along without you now
Ah-ha, mm-hmm, Gonna get along without you now
You told everybody that we were friends
But this is where our friendship ends
’cause all of a sudden you changed your tune
You haven’t been around since way last June
Ah-ha, mm-hmm, Gonna get along without you now
Ah-ha, mm-hmm, Gonna get along without you now
So long my honey, goodbye my dear
8: Home
(Zooey Deschanel)
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
You’re the nicest, nicest boy I’ve ever met and then
I think about you then I think about you again and again
Why don’t 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 doesn’t get better than home, now does it?
Doesn’t get better than home, now does it?
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
I want to see you with the light in the morning
There’s never been such a beautiful warning to me, to me
Why don’t 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 doesn’t get better than home, now does it?
Doesn’t get better than home, now does it?
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
9: I’m Gonna Make It Better
(Zooey Deschanel)
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
I’m gonna make it, make it better
I’m gonna get the best and lock it up and swallow the key
Hide it in your heart
Chase it ’til the morning
Sunlight is lost in your eyes
You never tried facing the sting
Walking in all circles, take it all in stride
Faces are not what they seem
I always dream, lost in 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 and lock it up and swallow the key
10: Sing
(Zooey Deschanel)
Talking on the phone and watching “Cribs”
He does know what kind of guy he is
He’s got a gold-plated ceiling and a T.V. 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 gotta 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 have a good laugh
I’m glad to see you, yes I’m glad to see you
Open your arms and sing
The world’s been waiting, they’ve been waiting for years
And they’ve just gotta hear it
The kids are waiting, they’ve been shedding tears
So open your arms and sing for us
11: Over It Over Again
(Zooey Deschanel)
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
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
12: Brand New Shoes
(Zooey Deschanel)
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 nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing at all
We are all made of air
There’s stars in my eyes and there’s sun in my hair
And I’m running away, it makes me feel better
It’s just like you told me it’d be
It’s nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing at all
When it comes down to this
I’m neither sorry, nor cross, nor unfit
And I’m running away, there’s smoke on my sweater
It’s just like you told me it’d be
It’s nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing at all
13: If You Can’t Sleep
(Zooey Deschanel)
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
Goodbye shadows
If 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 you’re embraced in my heart
Goodbye shadows
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
