Fanmix | Twilight
Alright, so NO Icon-Post this time, but my very first Fanmix!! YAY! Or not...
whatever ;D
Twilight, because the Series kicks ass!
First I have to admit that I made this one a while ago... I just never got to post it, because my Internet sucks! Anyway, now I can... and although by now I'm not very happy with the result anymore this mix took me too long to not post it.
Also, as a little side-warning: Under every cover-art I put a little table, on the left is the Quote that I link with the song and on the right, the main part of the lyrics that I thought about and a little bit of rambling by me...
Okay, so:
"If I Was Your Vampire"
an Edward/Bella-Fanmix
12 Tracks + Coverart for each track + 15 Icons
+ lots of rambling from me + quotes!
1. Fiona Apple - Fast As You Can
(sorry - this file is .mpc)
"What? Are you speaking to me again?" I finally asked, an unintentional note of petulance in my voice.
His lips twitched, fighting a smile. "No, not really," he admitted.
I closed my eyes and inhaled slowly through my nose, aware that I was gritting my teeth. He waited.
"Then what do you want, Edward?" I asked, keeping my eyes closed; it was easier to talk to him coherently that way.
"I'm sorry." He sounded sincere. "I'm being very rude, I know. But it's better this way, really."
I opened my eyes. His face was very serious.
"I don't know what you mean," I said, my voice guarded.
"It's better if we're not friends," he explained. "Trust me."
My eyes narrowed. I'd heard that before.
[ ]
"Honestly, Edward." I felt a thrill go through me as I said his name, and I hated it. "I can't keep up with you. I thought you didn't want to be my friend."
"I said it would be better if we weren't friends, not that I didn't want to be."
Twilight, Chapter 4 "You don't care if I'm a monster? If I'm not human!"
"No."
[...]
"Ah," he groaned quietly. "This is wrong."
I couldn't understand his response. "What did I say?"
"Don't you see, Bella? It's one thing for me to make myself miserable, but a wholly other thing for you to be so involved." He turned his anguished eyes to the road, his words flowing almost too fast for me to understand. "I don't want to hear that you feel that way." His voice was low but urgent. His words cut me. "It's wrong. It's not safe. I'm dangerous, Bella - please, grasp that."
Twilight, Chapter 9
"Oh darling, it's so sweet
You think you know how crazy
How crazy I am
You say you don't spook easy,
You won't go, but I know
And I pray that you will
Fast as you can, baby run free yourself of me
Fast as you can "
This is such an obvious Bella/Edward song and I know a lot of people have used it before, but it's just really fitting for the way Edward sees their "realtionship" - although he doesn't even want to have one at the time. He's trying to make Bella run away, to not be with him, but she just won't listen to him.
2. Alexz Johnson - Temporary Insanity
"Edward hesitated to test himself, to see if this was safe, to make sure he was still in control of his need.
And then his cold, marble lips pressed very softly against mine.
What neither of us was prepared for was my response.
Blood boiled under my skin, burned in my lips. My breath came in a wild gasp. My fingers knotted in his hair, clutching him to me. My lips parted as I breathed in his heady scent.
Immediately I felt him turn to unresponsive stone beneath my lips. His hands gently, but with irresistible force, pushed my face back. I opened my eyes and saw his guarded expression.
"Oops," I breathed.
"That's an understatement."
His eyes were wild, his jaw clenched in acute restraint, yet he didn't lapse from his perfect articulation. He held my face just inches from his. He dazzled my eyes.
"Should I ?" I tried to disengage myself, to give him some room.
His hands refused to let me move so much as an inch.
"No, it's tolerable. Wait for a moment, please." His voice was polite, controlled. "
Twilight, Chapter 13
"What just happened?
Did you kiss me?
Cause that's a place we've never been until now
And I don't know how it's gonna be after this
Do we pretend these feelings don't exist at all
Or do we fall?
My confusion shows whenever you get so close
I stumble, I stutter, forget what to say
I'm nervous, I wonder why I'm acting this way
It's temporary insanity
What's going on with you and me?
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?"
Yeah, well - that was quite a chapter-jump, but whatever... . The whole song just totally reminded me on the Situation and I just really think it's perfect.
3. Carrie Underwood - Some Hearts
"I wrenched the door out of my way - ridiculously eager - and there he was, my personal miracle.
Time had not made me immune to the perfection of his face, and I was sure that I would never take any aspect of him for granted. My eyes traced over his pale white features: the hard square of his jaw, the softer curve of his full lips - twisted up into a smile now, the straight line of his nose, the sharp angle of his cheekbones, the smooth marble span of his forehead - partially obscured by a tangle of rain-darkened bronze hair. . . .
I saved his eyes for last, knowing that when I looked into them I was likely to lose my train of thought. They were wide, warm with liquid gold, and framed by a thick fringe of black lashes. Staring into his eyes always made me feel extraordinary - sort of like my bones were turning spongy. I was also a little lightheaded, but that could have been because I'd forgotten to keep breathing. Again.
It was a face any male model in the world would trade his soul for. Of course, that might be exactly the asking price: one soul.
No. I didn't believe that. I felt guilty for even thinking it, and was glad - as I was often glad - that I was the one person whose thoughts were a mystery to Edward.
I reached for his hand, and sighed when his cold fingers found mine. His touch brought with it the strangest sense of relief - as if I'd been in pain and that pain had suddenly ceased.
"Hey." I smiled a little at my anticlimactic greeting.
He raised our interlaced fingers to brush my cheek with the back of his hand. "How was your afternoon?"
"Slow."
"For me, as well.""
Eclipse, Chapter 1
"I've never been the kind that you'd call lucky
Always stumbling' around in circles
But I must have stumbled into something
Look at me
Am I really alone with you
I wake up feeling like my life's worth living
Can't recall when I last felt that way
Guess it must be all this love you're giving
Never knew never knew it could be like this
But I guess
Some hearts
They just get all the right breaks
Some hearts have the stars on their side
Some hearts,
They just have it so easy
Some hearts just get lucky sometimes
Some hearts just get lucky, lucky sometimes"
Ahem, yeah, more love is impossible ;D
4.Marilyn Manson - If I was your Vampire
"You are my life. You're the only thing it would hurt me to lose." I was getting better at this. It was easy to admit how much I needed him.
He was very calm, though. Decided.
"I can't do it, Bella. I won't do that to you."
Twilight, Chapter 24
"I love you
So much
You must kill me now..
[ ]
If I was your vampire, certain as the moon,
Instead of killing time, we'll have each other
Until the sun. If I was your vampire,
Death waits for no one. Hold my hands
Across your face, because I think
Our time has come."
I think some people might be surprised about this one. I know that the song in general isn't very romantic or even close to the realtionship that Bella/Edward have, but when I heard the first Verse the very first time "Twilight" just popped into my head and I never got it out again. To me this song, this Verse especially and the story are linked, because after all this is exactly what Bella asks for: she wants to die, because she loves Edward that much, that it wouldn't be a life without him after all.
5. Nerina Pallot - Sophia
"I am not moping around."
"Wrong word," he grudgingly conceded. "Moping would be better-that would be doing something. You're just lifeless, Bella. I think that's the word I want."
New Moon, Chapter 4
I wondered how long they'd been sitting here, unable to remember if this was the first day or something that was a regular habit.
I was beginning to get annoyed with myself. I might as well have been packed in Styrofoam peanuts through the last semester.
No one looked up when I sat down next to Mike, even though the chair squealed stridently against the linoleum as I dragged it back.
[ ]
"No, she's right," I threw in impatiently. "We had a hiker in just Saturday who saw the bear, too, Angela. He said it was huge and black and just outside of town, didn't he, Mike?"
There was a moment of silence. Every pair of eyes at the table turned to stare at me in shock. The new girl, Katie, had her mouth hanging open like she'd just witnessed an explosion. Nobody moved.
"Mike?" I muttered, mortified. "Remember the guy with the bear story?"
"S-sure," Mike stuttered after a second. I didn't know why he was looking at me so strangely. I talked to him at work, didn't I? Did I? I thought so
New Moon, Chapter 6
"Sophia, Sophia, I'm learning that some things,
I can't go without and one of them is him.
And now I walk these streets
Like a stranger in my home town,
Learn the language,
Form the words when I speak,
But he changed me,
I'm his ghost since he came around,
And now I count the hours
And the days in the weeks."
So, yeah, besides the fact the she's singing "Sophia" it's the ultimate Bella-without-Edward-Song to me.
I thing the second quote is perfect for showing this...
6. Norah Jones - Wake Me Up
"Why do you do that?" he asked. He tugged lightly at one of my arms, which was bound around my chest, and then gave up when it wouldn't come loose easily. I hadn't even realized I'd moved them. "You do that when you're upset. Why?"
"It hurts to think about them," I whispered. "It's like I can't breathe like I'm breaking into pieces "It was bizarre how much I could tell Jacob now. We had no more secrets."
New Moon, Chapter 15
"Wake me up when it's over,
Wake me up when it's done,
When he's gone away and taken everything,
Wake me up.
[ ]
But don't shake me awake,
Don't bend me or I will break,
Come find me somewhere between my dreams,
With the sun on my face."
Another Bella-without-Edward-song, because - and I'll be honest here - that tragic time was my favourite to read :/
Anyway, it also covers a little bit of Jacob, with the "sun", because, yeah, that's how Bella thinks about him.
But right now I'm actually not so sure about the song anymore. I I don't know... somehow it just seemed to fit the situatin when I made the mix... I have a wired mind.
7. Kelly Clarkson - Addicted
"The whole world was meaningless.
My forehead pressed against my knees, and I wondered how much longer I would be able to stand this. Maybe it was hopeless. Maybe, if my attempt was doomed to failure anyway, I should stop torturing myself and just go back
The Idea was so powerful, so healing - like the words contained a strong anesthetic, washing away the mountain of pain I was buried under - that it made me gasp, made me dizzy.
I could leave now, I could go back.
Bella's face, always behind the lids of my eyes, smiled at me.
It was a smile of welcome, of forgiveness, but it did not have the affect my subconscious probably intended it to have."
New Moon Extras, Rosalie
It's like I'm lost
It's like I'm giving up slowly
It's like you're a ghost that's haunting me
Leave me alone
And I know these voices in my head
Are mine alone
And I know I'll never change my ways
If I don't give you up now
It's like I can't breathe
It's like I can't see anything
Nothing but you
I'm addicted to you
It's like I can't think
Without you interrupting me
In my thoughts
In my dreams
You've taken over me
It's like I'm not me
It's like I'm not me
I'm hooked on you
I need a fix
I can't take it
Just one more hit
I promise I can deal with it
I'll handle it, quit it
Just one more time
Then that's it
Just a little bit more to get me through this
So, yeah, I think the lyrics and the quote pretty much speak for themselves. It's perfect! And I'm really happy about the cover-art for this one ^^
8. AaRON - U-Turn (Lili)
"You don't want me to be a Vampire"
"No, I don't," he said softly [ ]
"[ ] Certainly, there are things I'll miss. This for one "
He stared into my eyes as he stroked my cheek, and I felt the blood rush up to color my skin. He laughed gently.
"And the sound of your heart," he continued .
Eclipse, Chapter 12
"What do I have left but the fourth option? It's what she wants - at least, she thinks she does. I've been trying to delay her, to give her time to find a reason to change her mind, but she's very stubborn. You know that. I'll be lucky to stretch this out a few months. She has a horror of getting older, and her birthday is in September."
(Edward to Jacob)
Eclipse, Chapter 22
"Lili, easy as a kiss we'll find an answer
Put all your fears back in the shade
Don't become a ghost without no colour
Cause you're the best paint life ever made
For every step in any walk
Any town of any thought
I'll be your guide
For every street of any scene
Any place you've never been
I'll be your guide"
This one really relates on the "don't become a ghost without no color"-line because, yeah, that's really what Edward doesn't want her to become.
And also he said he would stay with her until she died a natural dead, so he would be her guide...
And here also: very happy with the cover-art ^^
9. KT Tunstall - Throw Me A Rope
"I just had to be where Edward was.
Cruel, I accused myself. Selfish, selfish, selfish! Don't do it!
I ignored my better instincts. I couldn't look at him while I spoke, though. The guilt had my eyes glued to the table.
"Okay, look, Edward," I whispered. "Here's the thing . . . I've already gone crazy once. I know what my limits are. And I can't stand it if you leave me again."
[ ]
Suddenly, his arms were around me, his hands stroking my face, my arms. He was comforting me. The guilt went into spiral mode. But the survival instinct was stronger. There was no question that he was fundamental to my survival.
"You know it's not like that, Bella," he murmured. "I won't be far, and it will be over quickly."
"I can't stand it," I insisted, still staring down. "Not knowing whether or not you'll come back. How do I live through that, no matter how quickly it's over?""
Eclipse, Chapter 19
"I want you between me and the feeling I get
When I miss you
But everything here is telling me I should be fine
So why is it so above as below
That I'm missing you every time
I got used to you whispering things to me
Into the evening
We follow the sun and his colors left this world
It seems to me that I'm definitely
Hearing the best that I've heard
So throw me a rope
To hold me in place
Show me a clock
For counting my days down
Cause everything's easier when your beside me
Come back and find me
Cause I feel alone"
Yeah, that was the song I really had to think of, when I read the scene.
10. Lisa Loeb - Payback
"What's wrong, Jake? Does it hurt?" My hands fluttered uselessly as I looked around for his mediaction.
"No," he grumbled in a disgusted tone. "I can't believe this! He didn't give you an ultimatum or anything?"
"Not even close - what's wrong with you?"
He scowled and shook his head. "I was sort of counting on his reaction. Damn it all. He's better than I thought."
The way he said it, though angrier, reminded me of Edward's tribute to Jacob's lack of ethics in the tent this morning. Which meant that Jake was still hoping, still fighting. I winced as that stabbed deep.
[ ]
"Well, anyway, lots to worry about, but worth it in the end."
He nodded unwillingly, and I knew that he in no way agreed with me.
I stretched my neck up to whisper in his ear, laying my cheek against his warm skin. "You know I love you."
"I know," he breathed, his arm tightening automatically around my waist. "You know how much I wish it was enough."
"Yes."
"I'll be waiting in the wings, Bella," he promised, lightening his tone and loosening his arm. I pulled away with a dull, dragging sense of loss, feeling the tearing separation as I left a part of me behind, there on the bed next to him. "You'll always have that spare option if you want it."
[ ]
I didn't get very far, before driving became impossible."
Eclipse, Chapter 26 & 27
"Is this how it ends, laying in bed
Talking to a cheap tape recorder instead of my friends
In bed with a low grade fever, they wanted to know how could I leave you.
I can't tell them that. it might sound like revenge.
Some things don't need a payback.
Some things are sure, some things
You can't feel safe about.
Where do I start?
I was waiting for my head to clear up. I thought I was smart
I'd find the answers in time.
But the answers I find, aren't what you want to hear.
They're not even close.
[...]
Don't give me a chance. You don't owe me that."
Yes, I do cover the whole Jacob-thing! ;D
Well, yeah, this song comes really close to the situation I think, except that Jacob doesn't really plot revenge...
11. Hilary Duff - Shine
Though the afternoon was the only time I spent away from Edward, it was enough to make me restless, and the hours always dragged.
Eclipse, Chapter 1 As I hung up the phone, smiling, I heard the sound of [Edward's] car racing down the street. The brakes protested loudly as he slammed to a stop out front. I went to get the door.
[ ]
"Let me see," he murmured.
He examined my hand gently, so carefully that it caused me no pain at all. His hands were almost as cold as ice, and they felt good against my skin.
[ ]
I wasn't so angry anymore, now that Edward was with me. I felt comforted, and my hand didn't bother me as much.
Eclipse, Chapter 15
I shook my head. "You don't understand. You may be brave enough or strong enough to live without me, if that's what's best. But I could never be that self-sacrificing. I have to be with you. It's the only way I can live."
Eclipse, Chapter 27
"Everyone knows that I'm ten feet under
Till you come along and brighten my day
Everyone knows that you kill the thunder
The roaring in my brain
You've given me the strength
To see you right through the haze
Shine, come on and let it shine
Light me up, make me feel alive
You've got what it takes
Shine, and only you know how to lift my spirit off the ground
And chase those clouds away
Shine on me today
When everything's wrong
I just pick the phone up
The sound in your voice really fills my eyes with tears of joy
Cause I know you'll be there
When I'm hanging by a thread
You're my heaven sent
[...]
Oh you have this way of making me feel like I can fly
You're underneath my wings
So I'll free fall out of the sky
You're always there to save me
You know you'll save me"
yeah, not much to say here. It's just a general happy-ending-song
12. Michelle Branch - It's You
"Edward, I know who I can't live without."
"But "
I shook my head. "You don't understand. You may be brave enough or strong enough to live without me, if that's what's best. But I could never be that self-sacrificing. I have to be with you. It's the only way I can live."
[ ]
"Bella, I can't stand for you to be miserable. Maybe . . ."
"No, Edward. I've made a real mess of things, and I'm going to have to live with that. But I know what I want and what I need . . . and what I'm going to do now."
"What are we going to do now?"
I smiled just a bit at his correction, and then I sighed. "We are going to go see Alice."
Eclipse, Chapter 27
If tomorrow never comes
I would want just one thing
I would tell it to the stars and the sun
I would write it for the world to see
And it's you
The light changes when you're in the room
Oh it's you
Oh it's you
If tomorrow never comes
I would want just one wish
To kiss your quiet mouth
Trace the steps with my fingertips
And it's you
The light changes when you're in the room
Oh it's you
Yeah, another happy-ending song, cause I'm just romantic like this, but it's perfect!
let me know if you want everything zipped-up or if something isn't working
the whole in a .zip

"Wrong word," he grudgingly conceded. "Moping would be better-that would be doing something. You're just lifeless, Bella. I think that's the word I want."
New Moon, Chapter 4
I wondered how long they'd been sitting here, unable to remember if this was the first day or something that was a regular habit.
I was beginning to get annoyed with myself. I might as well have been packed in Styrofoam peanuts through the last semester.
No one looked up when I sat down next to Mike, even though the chair squealed stridently against the linoleum as I dragged it back.
[ ]
"No, she's right," I threw in impatiently. "We had a hiker in just Saturday who saw the bear, too, Angela. He said it was huge and black and just outside of town, didn't he, Mike?"
There was a moment of silence. Every pair of eyes at the table turned to stare at me in shock. The new girl, Katie, had her mouth hanging open like she'd just witnessed an explosion. Nobody moved.
"Mike?" I muttered, mortified. "Remember the guy with the bear story?"
"S-sure," Mike stuttered after a second. I didn't know why he was looking at me so strangely. I talked to him at work, didn't I? Did I? I thought so
New Moon, Chapter 6
"Sophia, Sophia, I'm learning that some things,
I can't go without and one of them is him.
And now I walk these streets
Like a stranger in my home town,
Learn the language,
Form the words when I speak,
But he changed me,
I'm his ghost since he came around,
And now I count the hours
And the days in the weeks."
So, yeah, besides the fact the she's singing "Sophia" it's the ultimate Bella-without-Edward-Song to me.
I thing the second quote is perfect for showing this...
6. Norah Jones - Wake Me Up
"Why do you do that?" he asked. He tugged lightly at one of my arms, which was bound around my chest, and then gave up when it wouldn't come loose easily. I hadn't even realized I'd moved them. "You do that when you're upset. Why?"
"It hurts to think about them," I whispered. "It's like I can't breathe like I'm breaking into pieces "It was bizarre how much I could tell Jacob now. We had no more secrets."
New Moon, Chapter 15
"Wake me up when it's over,
Wake me up when it's done,
When he's gone away and taken everything,
Wake me up.
[ ]
But don't shake me awake,
Don't bend me or I will break,
Come find me somewhere between my dreams,
With the sun on my face."
Another Bella-without-Edward-song, because - and I'll be honest here - that tragic time was my favourite to read :/
Anyway, it also covers a little bit of Jacob, with the "sun", because, yeah, that's how Bella thinks about him.
But right now I'm actually not so sure about the song anymore. I I don't know... somehow it just seemed to fit the situatin when I made the mix... I have a wired mind.
7. Kelly Clarkson - Addicted
"The whole world was meaningless.
My forehead pressed against my knees, and I wondered how much longer I would be able to stand this. Maybe it was hopeless. Maybe, if my attempt was doomed to failure anyway, I should stop torturing myself and just go back
The Idea was so powerful, so healing - like the words contained a strong anesthetic, washing away the mountain of pain I was buried under - that it made me gasp, made me dizzy.
I could leave now, I could go back.
Bella's face, always behind the lids of my eyes, smiled at me.
It was a smile of welcome, of forgiveness, but it did not have the affect my subconscious probably intended it to have."
New Moon Extras, Rosalie
It's like I'm lost
It's like I'm giving up slowly
It's like you're a ghost that's haunting me
Leave me alone
And I know these voices in my head
Are mine alone
And I know I'll never change my ways
If I don't give you up now
It's like I can't breathe
It's like I can't see anything
Nothing but you
I'm addicted to you
It's like I can't think
Without you interrupting me
In my thoughts
In my dreams
You've taken over me
It's like I'm not me
It's like I'm not me
I'm hooked on you
I need a fix
I can't take it
Just one more hit
I promise I can deal with it
I'll handle it, quit it
Just one more time
Then that's it
Just a little bit more to get me through this
So, yeah, I think the lyrics and the quote pretty much speak for themselves. It's perfect! And I'm really happy about the cover-art for this one ^^
8. AaRON - U-Turn (Lili)
"You don't want me to be a Vampire"
"No, I don't," he said softly [ ]
"[ ] Certainly, there are things I'll miss. This for one "
He stared into my eyes as he stroked my cheek, and I felt the blood rush up to color my skin. He laughed gently.
"And the sound of your heart," he continued .
Eclipse, Chapter 12
"What do I have left but the fourth option? It's what she wants - at least, she thinks she does. I've been trying to delay her, to give her time to find a reason to change her mind, but she's very stubborn. You know that. I'll be lucky to stretch this out a few months. She has a horror of getting older, and her birthday is in September."
(Edward to Jacob)
Eclipse, Chapter 22
"Lili, easy as a kiss we'll find an answer
Put all your fears back in the shade
Don't become a ghost without no colour
Cause you're the best paint life ever made
For every step in any walk
Any town of any thought
I'll be your guide
For every street of any scene
Any place you've never been
I'll be your guide"
This one really relates on the "don't become a ghost without no color"-line because, yeah, that's really what Edward doesn't want her to become.
And also he said he would stay with her until she died a natural dead, so he would be her guide...
And here also: very happy with the cover-art ^^
9. KT Tunstall - Throw Me A Rope
"I just had to be where Edward was.
Cruel, I accused myself. Selfish, selfish, selfish! Don't do it!
I ignored my better instincts. I couldn't look at him while I spoke, though. The guilt had my eyes glued to the table.
"Okay, look, Edward," I whispered. "Here's the thing . . . I've already gone crazy once. I know what my limits are. And I can't stand it if you leave me again."
[ ]
Suddenly, his arms were around me, his hands stroking my face, my arms. He was comforting me. The guilt went into spiral mode. But the survival instinct was stronger. There was no question that he was fundamental to my survival.
"You know it's not like that, Bella," he murmured. "I won't be far, and it will be over quickly."
"I can't stand it," I insisted, still staring down. "Not knowing whether or not you'll come back. How do I live through that, no matter how quickly it's over?""
Eclipse, Chapter 19
"I want you between me and the feeling I get
When I miss you
But everything here is telling me I should be fine
So why is it so above as below
That I'm missing you every time
I got used to you whispering things to me
Into the evening
We follow the sun and his colors left this world
It seems to me that I'm definitely
Hearing the best that I've heard
So throw me a rope
To hold me in place
Show me a clock
For counting my days down
Cause everything's easier when your beside me
Come back and find me
Cause I feel alone"
Yeah, that was the song I really had to think of, when I read the scene.
10. Lisa Loeb - Payback
"What's wrong, Jake? Does it hurt?" My hands fluttered uselessly as I looked around for his mediaction.
"No," he grumbled in a disgusted tone. "I can't believe this! He didn't give you an ultimatum or anything?"
"Not even close - what's wrong with you?"
He scowled and shook his head. "I was sort of counting on his reaction. Damn it all. He's better than I thought."
The way he said it, though angrier, reminded me of Edward's tribute to Jacob's lack of ethics in the tent this morning. Which meant that Jake was still hoping, still fighting. I winced as that stabbed deep.
[ ]
"Well, anyway, lots to worry about, but worth it in the end."
He nodded unwillingly, and I knew that he in no way agreed with me.
I stretched my neck up to whisper in his ear, laying my cheek against his warm skin. "You know I love you."
"I know," he breathed, his arm tightening automatically around my waist. "You know how much I wish it was enough."
"Yes."
"I'll be waiting in the wings, Bella," he promised, lightening his tone and loosening his arm. I pulled away with a dull, dragging sense of loss, feeling the tearing separation as I left a part of me behind, there on the bed next to him. "You'll always have that spare option if you want it."
[ ]
I didn't get very far, before driving became impossible."
Eclipse, Chapter 26 & 27
"Is this how it ends, laying in bed
Talking to a cheap tape recorder instead of my friends
In bed with a low grade fever, they wanted to know how could I leave you.
I can't tell them that. it might sound like revenge.
Some things don't need a payback.
Some things are sure, some things
You can't feel safe about.
Where do I start?
I was waiting for my head to clear up. I thought I was smart
I'd find the answers in time.
But the answers I find, aren't what you want to hear.
They're not even close.
[...]
Don't give me a chance. You don't owe me that."
Yes, I do cover the whole Jacob-thing! ;D
Well, yeah, this song comes really close to the situation I think, except that Jacob doesn't really plot revenge...
11. Hilary Duff - Shine
Though the afternoon was the only time I spent away from Edward, it was enough to make me restless, and the hours always dragged.
Eclipse, Chapter 1 As I hung up the phone, smiling, I heard the sound of [Edward's] car racing down the street. The brakes protested loudly as he slammed to a stop out front. I went to get the door.
[ ]
"Let me see," he murmured.
He examined my hand gently, so carefully that it caused me no pain at all. His hands were almost as cold as ice, and they felt good against my skin.
[ ]
I wasn't so angry anymore, now that Edward was with me. I felt comforted, and my hand didn't bother me as much.
Eclipse, Chapter 15
I shook my head. "You don't understand. You may be brave enough or strong enough to live without me, if that's what's best. But I could never be that self-sacrificing. I have to be with you. It's the only way I can live."
Eclipse, Chapter 27
"Everyone knows that I'm ten feet under
Till you come along and brighten my day
Everyone knows that you kill the thunder
The roaring in my brain
You've given me the strength
To see you right through the haze
Shine, come on and let it shine
Light me up, make me feel alive
You've got what it takes
Shine, and only you know how to lift my spirit off the ground
And chase those clouds away
Shine on me today
When everything's wrong
I just pick the phone up
The sound in your voice really fills my eyes with tears of joy
Cause I know you'll be there
When I'm hanging by a thread
You're my heaven sent
[...]
Oh you have this way of making me feel like I can fly
You're underneath my wings
So I'll free fall out of the sky
You're always there to save me
You know you'll save me"
yeah, not much to say here. It's just a general happy-ending-song
12. Michelle Branch - It's You
"Edward, I know who I can't live without."
"But "
I shook my head. "You don't understand. You may be brave enough or strong enough to live without me, if that's what's best. But I could never be that self-sacrificing. I have to be with you. It's the only way I can live."
[ ]
"Bella, I can't stand for you to be miserable. Maybe . . ."
"No, Edward. I've made a real mess of things, and I'm going to have to live with that. But I know what I want and what I need . . . and what I'm going to do now."
"What are we going to do now?"
I smiled just a bit at his correction, and then I sighed. "We are going to go see Alice."
Eclipse, Chapter 27
If tomorrow never comes
I would want just one thing
I would tell it to the stars and the sun
I would write it for the world to see
And it's you
The light changes when you're in the room
Oh it's you
Oh it's you
If tomorrow never comes
I would want just one wish
To kiss your quiet mouth
Trace the steps with my fingertips
And it's you
The light changes when you're in the room
Oh it's you
Yeah, another happy-ending song, cause I'm just romantic like this, but it's perfect!
let me know if you want everything zipped-up or if something isn't working
the whole in a .zip
