Go here. Put "Grant, Elizabeth" in the search box, select search by name. This is an example of a page, I highlighted the area of authorship:

It was the KROQ radio interview. It's more than those two songs.

yeah, but every song on btd and paradise except for yayo (and a large part of lana's unreleased material) has had co-writers so her argument that lana is somehow more genuine than other female pop stars is ridiculous

remember when Ride came out and on pretty much every lyric site it said "I look up to hear myself saying, baby, too much strive, I just ride"
in diet mountain dew I was convinced she was singing "baby stopping at ~some posh french name~ (something like shumura l'evin), baring his work in new york, heaven" and I had this image of her and her painter-boyfriend driving to an art exhibition were he was showing his paintings
which fit with what I misheard in Blue Jeans which was "love you more, than those pictures before" because she was like "I don't love you because you're an artist, I love you because you're you~". For such a long time I thought all her songs was about a boyfriend who was a failed painter ("well shit at least you tried") who turned to selling drugs

No, the two acoustic covers and this feature have been around for the longest time but people are only paying attention to them now. And it's infuriating because people keep mixing shit up. This is called "Piece of Mind" and the band is And They Were Masked. Like if the people posting these would even listen to the lyrics...

fruitpunchlips liked a post in a topic by Summersault in Lizzy in old Lake Placid area newspapers
This so adds to the mystique of her claimed teen drinking. I wonder if her talk of "losing her reputation" has something to do with her early days as a preppy, Catholic sweetheart. It must have been the talk of the town if she really got into enough trouble to get sent off to boarding school.
"Have you heard? Rob and Pat's Lizzy was drinking light beer behind the school."
"Oh my, she used to be such a darling with the litter picking and all!"

Maybe Carmen too? It's got similarities to Humbert's Wanted poem and that sort of explains the french part

fruitpunchlips liked a post in a topic by evilentity in Lizzy in old Lake Placid area newspapers
I found a bunch of old Lake Placid News (LPN), Adirondack Daily Express (ADE), Plattsburgh Press-Rebulican (PPR) articles archived as black and white PDF scans that mention Lizzy, some with photos of her:
Here's a rundown of the rest of the references:
Involvement in Sports
Skiing. "Lately, the students of St. Agnes School have accomplished a lot out of school. Many SAS students particpated recently in some exciting ski races: NYSEF World Cup race for JV (ages 7-10). Placings are as follows... Elizabeth Grant 20th". January 25, 1995 LPN Sports page box score showing her run time and placing ("8. Elizabeth Grant 44.33") in the Ed Damp Junior V World Cup. March 12, 1996 PPR
"The New York Ski Educational Foundation (NYSEF) held its annual family race and picnic for participants in the.series last Saturday, at which time the final standings were released... Elizabeth Grant (259)... Completed the top 10." March 23, 1996 ADE
Skating. "The following scholarships have been awarded by the Skating Club of Lake Placid to the skaters named below... $50 scholarships for ice or lessons... Elizabeth Grant." March 27, 1997 ADE Softball. She played center fielder for her middle school team. "Elizabeth grant [sic] OF-C". April 10, 1998 LPN Involvement in Other Extra-curricular Activities
Choir. "The Lake Placid High School (LPHS) concert started off with the chorus singing 'Psallite'. They song many traditional Christmas Carols [sic]. The chorus personnel are... Elizabeth Grant". March 7, 2000 LPN "After the Women's Ensemble it was the high school chorus' time to shine... Medley from 'Les Miserables' had many soloists, such as... Elizabeth Grant". June 23, 2000 LPN
What song do you think she sang?
Performed in a variety show (as well as Chuck and Charlie). June 23, 2000 LPN Secretary of the high school Key Club. "On Tuesday May 9, the Key Club members welcomed new leadership... Congratulations also go to the new secretary. Elizabeth Grant". June 23, 2000 LPN Staff of the Blue Times Bomber, the school newspaper which appears to have been an insert in the Lake Placid News. January 28, 2000 March 17, 2000 LPN June 23, 2000 LPN Confirmation. "On Sunday afternoon. May 21, at 4:30 p.m.. Bishop Gerald Barbarito, bishop of Ogdensburg, came to Lake Placid and confirmed more than 50 people from area Roman Catholic churches, including St Agnes... It was a beautiful and solemn ceremony, with the church's altars and pillars decked in red, the bishop in his red chasuble (robe), wearing his miter on his head and holding his staff in hand. On the altar, dozens of red roses arranged in large vases added to the festive atmosphere. The 17 Lake Placid young people, all dressed in white robes, who received the gifts of the Holy Spirit in the sacrament of confirmation included... Elizabeth Grant". May 26, 2000 LPN Honor Roll
There are also many articles that list her on the honor roll:
Grade 7, High Honors. January 9, 1998 LPN February 13, 1998 LPN March 27, 1998 LPN March 27, 1998 ADE March 30, 1998 PPR May 29, 1998 ADE June 9, 1998 ADE June 19, 1998 LPN July 31, 1998 PPR Grade 8, Honors. March 5, 1999 LPN March 8, 1999 ADE March 12, 1999 LPN May 7, 1999 LPN Grade 8, High Honors. June 18, 1999 LPN July 20, 1999 July 23, 1999 LPN Grade 9, Honors. December 24, 1999 LPN December 31, 1999 LPN January 28, 2000 LPN This establishes pretty well that she started 9th grade in the fall of 1999. Unless you skip a grade, kids are 14 or 15 when they begin 9th grade (or at least turn 14 shortly after it begins). If Lizzy was really born in 1986 as she claims, she would have just turned 13 the summer before.
Family Members
There's also a lot of articles mentioning other members of her family. I didn't spend a ton of time looking at those, but they appear to be mostly about her parents' efforts to organize opposition to a development project (Lake Placid does really remind me of Twin Peaks sometimes) for classic NIMBY reasons, her dad's real estate listings, and Chuck and Charlie's sports exploits (including a huge fish she caught).
However, this article describes in greater detail her dad's furniture company mentioned in that Domain Name Journal profile on him and this article gives more background on her family's ownership of "God Bless America" singer Kate Smith's home-- which Lizzy mentioned in this article and was the inspiration for the original title of AKA-- and their attempts to sell it at a large profit rather than an affordable price for the Kate Smith/God Bless America Foundation who wanted to turn it into a museum.
Note: Please let me know if any of my links appear wrong. That's a lot of links to copy and paste!

This song sounds so heavenly. I think it's a much better 'spiritual piece' than Bel Air anyway. The lyrics remind me of clouds and floating in the sky and being free. Ah.
