- 'Lover's Spit' (You Forgot it in People, 2002/Bee Hives, 2004) Drew: So much of what I write about is always leaving, always being halfway in or out the door.
- 'Anthems For a Seventeen-Year-Old Girl' (You Forgot it in People, 2002) Canning: It was recorded in my basement. Kevin was upstairs doing something and he came downstairs and said, "That sounds like f--king Garageband!"
