A little bit bolder
Never so shy

And the valley doesn't differ from the kitchen sink.- This Is Not a Test
- Think of all the beauty that you left behind you.
You can take it if you want it, and then let it go.And this is not a test,

but I just turned my head away
Your face against the trees
but I just see the memories

No I couldn't help but fall in love again- I Thought I Saw Your Face Today

It's a possibility, of staying in my corner- Take it Back
- I was takin' a walk
When I saw you pass by

I saw a dream come true
So I asked you, maybe
Baby whatcha gonna do?- I Was Made For You

For a boy like you
I won't be waitin' any more cause I know

I guess I'm young but I feel so weary
I've tried to express it
But I think its all a bore
Its at the heart of me,
A very part of me.- Black Hole
- Speak slowly, I can't hear you
My mind keeps spinning closer and closer to the rain on the roof,
And the rain in my head, and the things that you said
People take it further ahead
And it just gets so foggy
It's nowhere in here
And its everywhere else that I don't wanna be,
But I'm stuck here getting misty over you
I'm alone on a bicycle for two.- Black Hole
- I can feel your heartbeat,
Where I lay my head
‘Cause you’ve got me
Yeah you’ve got me- Got Me
- When I was a little bit younger
The strain I was under could make me cry
Now I’m a little bit older,
A little bit bolder

Just a little bit longer now- Sweet Darlin (written by Zooey Deschanel and Jason Schwartzman)
