Thief 02:49
Why did you steal my heart away? I gave you all I own... I tried to leave but now I'll stay For the thrill alone. Baby, why we gotta play these games? You know it makes no sense at all Before we even knew each others' names I saw our future written on the wall. You were the thief from the start Now I'm losing control 'Cause you stole my heart You stole my soul. Now the smoke is getting in our eyes And we can't see wrong from right. I feel the danger when you're next to me Still, I want to you hold you tight...

Chase You 03:34
The others try to run me down, but this girl needs to race free.... How can I stay away from you? How can I try to hide? I'm dreaming of you by my side... I know that you're no good for me And I should stand aside But I'm going out to dance tonight And with you it feels so right... And I know you'll only set me up But boy, I love to chase you. 'Cause I love it when it's my way And I know you'll only shut me down And boy, I need my space too, But please don't go too far away. Run, boy, I'll follow... You spurn my advances, A runner in your own right, Boy, you've met your match with me, Tonight, tonight, tonight....

"Wanted to ask you, if we could be friends We used to talk, so, Why should that have to end?" You always make it out to be That the story's about you Why should you ask me that now? I found my love true... I'm not like you, I have to let you know. If you could see me, I know you'd let me go. So many times I tried to tell it to your face You should look elsewhere- Our friendship is displaced. It would kill you if you know how Little you mean to me. There's another heart Now you've gotta see....
