• Title: The mixed tape / Jack's Mannequin
• Album: Everything In Transit
• Year: 2005

Lyrics:

This is morning
That's when I spend the most time
Thinking 'bout what I've given up
This is a warning
When you start the day just to close the curtains
You're thinking 'bout what I've given up

Where are you now?
As I'm swimming through the stereo
I'm writing you a symphony of sound
Where are you now?
As I rearrange the songs again
This mix could burn a hole in anyone
But it was you I was thinking of

I read your letter
The one you left when you broke into my house
Retracing ever step you made
And you said you meant it
And there's a piece of me in every single
Second of every single day
But if it's true then tell me how it got this way

Where are you now?
As I'm swimming through the stereo
I'm writing you a symphony of sound
Where are you now?
As I rearrange the songs again
This mix could burn a hole in anyone
But it was you I was thinking of

And I can't get to you
I can't get to you
I can't get to you

Where are you now?
As I'm swimming through the stereo
I'm writing you a symphony of sound
Where are you now?
As I rearrange the songs again
I swear to God this mix could sink the sun
But it was you I was thinking of

And this is my mixed tape for her
It's like I wrote every note
With my own fingers

• Title: Hey Julie / Fountains of Wayne
• Album: Welcome Interstate Managers
• Year: 2007

Lyrics:

Working all day for a mean little man
With a clip-on tie and a rub-on tan
He's got me running 'round the office like a dog around a track
But when I get home,
You're always there to rub my back

Hey Julie,
Look what they're doing to me
Trying to trip me up
Trying to wear me down
Julie, I swear, it's so hard to bear it
And I'd never make it through without you around

Hours on the phone making pointless calls
I got a desk full of papers that means nothing at all
Sometimes I catch myself staring into space
Counting down the hours 'til I get to see your face

Hey Julie,
Look what they're doing to me
Trying to trip me up
Trying to wear me down
Julie, I swear, it's so hard to bear it
And I'd never make it through with out you around
No, I'd never make it through with out you around

[Bridge]
How did it come to be
That you and I must be
Far away from each other every day?
Why must I spend my time
Filling up my mind
With facts and figures that never add up anyway?
They never add up anyway

Working all day for a mean little guy
With a bad toupee and a soup-stained tie
He's got me running 'round the office
Like a gerbil on a wheel
He can tell me what to do
But he can't tell me what to feel

Hey Julie,
Look what they're doing to me
Trying to trip me up
Trying to wear me down
Julie, I swear, it's so hard to bear it
And I'd never make it through with out you around
No, I'd never make it through without you around
No, I'd never make it through with out you around

• Title: First Love / Uffie
• Year: 2007

Lyrics:

You'll have to say

You were the section of my magazine
You blew my mind like noone of the human kind
You were the only one i could ever speak
This secret language between us and the sheets

You made my mind and body so hot
You sent this wild child into a lady by night
And when i met you long ago I was so alone
My heart was beating so fast I had to write this song
And it goes

You make me feel so beautiful
It's like the sun is always shining when you are in control
You are my Mr. Mystery and
There's no way I can explain the way that you make me feel
**

Late night lovin' on your balcony
I'm feelin lovely at the knees * who thought* that would be me
You lift me up to where I wanna be
You make everything so clear I can finally see

You are the one that I always think ** *a*bout
My first love that I made this song about
You know me well and you always make me feel
Like i'm the one and I know your love is real

I love it when you whisper in my ear
You say the *sweetest* things that I wanted to hear
I never thought I could feel this way
And when I leave you in the morning I think of you all day

I feel so peaceful after we make love
I'll lay with you forever just like the sweetest *joint*
And the whole worlds around us stops and stares
It feels so good to fall asleep knowing that you are there
Come on

You make me feel so beautiful
It's like the sun is always shining when you are in control
You are my Mr. Mystery and
There's no way I can explain the way that you make me feel
And when you left me out this day
I though*t* you will come back anyway
Ya don't?, ya don't?, ya don't?

But that's ok I ain't gonna fall
I gotta get up and roll thats the way you want it
And I won't help it
I'm off to search new love with my chance I might find better
I can make sure you will only bitter
And with the time you don't have to say it
Damn I wonder why i broke up with that fuckin chick
Now we're wasting all of this time lookin for girls to hit

You are the one that I always thinkin' bout
My first love that I made this song about
You know me well and you always make me feel
Like i'm the one and I know your love is real

I'm so alone,
I can get her phone,
I can call her back and ask her to take me back
Girl: Hello?
Guy: It's, it's me
Girl: Yea so?
Guy: I made a huge mistake
Girl: Uh huh yea you did

Ya don't?, ya don't?, ya don't?,
Ya don't?, ya don't?, ya don't?
Ya don't?

• Title: Hey There Delilah / Plain White T's
• Album: All That We Needed
• Year: 2005

Lyrics:

Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This ones for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.
