How can I decide what's right
When you're clouding up my mind?
I can't win your losing fight
All the time
Nor could I ever own what's mine
When you're always taking sides
But you won't take away my pride
No, not this time
Not this time
How did we get here?
Well, I used to know you so well
But how did we get here?
Well, I think I know
The truth is hiding in your eyes
And it's hanging on your tongue
Just boiling in my blood
But you think that I can't see
What kind of man that you are
If you're a man at all
Well, I will figure this one out
On my own
(I'm screaming, I love you so)
On my own
(But my thoughts you can't decode)
Well, how did we get here?
Well, I used to know you so well
Yeah, how did we get here?
Well, I think I know
Do you see what we've done?
We've gone and made such fools of ourselves
Do you see what we've done?
We've gone and made such fools of ourselves
Yeah, yeah
How did we get here?
Well, I used to know you so well, yeah, yeah, yeah
Well, how did we get here?
Well, I used to know you so well
I think I know
I think I know
Oh, there is something I see in you
It might kill me, I want it to be true
When you're clouding up my mind?
I can't win your losing fight
All the time
Nor could I ever own what's mine
When you're always taking sides
But you won't take away my pride
No, not this time
Not this time
How did we get here?
Well, I used to know you so well
But how did we get here?
Well, I think I know
The truth is hiding in your eyes
And it's hanging on your tongue

idk, it just never appealed to me. i tried reading it, and the more i got into the book, the more i foundit to be stupid, and the hype around it at my school was suffocating. so that's why i dont like it.
Okay before i start, just know that i am NOT trying to be offensive. with that being said, cmon guys! less twilight ranting and more song decoding(excuse the pun)! I know that its totally about the book, like its literally written about Bella and edwards first steps as a couple. I love the books and all, so nobody get on my case lol.<br /> here goes.<br /> <br /> How can I decide what's right<br /> When you're clouding up my mind?<br /> I can't win<br /> You're losing fight<br /> All the time<br /> <br /> This verse is about Edwards point of view. Hes always on about whether or not its right for him to endanger bella and his family by being around her, but whenever shes near she dazzles him with her smell and balla-ness, amiright? But he just cant seem to win because she needs him. shes always in near death experiences, and thats why he cant win because she'd lose her fight if he left. shizam.<br /> <br /> Not gonna ever own what's mine<br /> When you're always taking sides<br /> But you won't take away my pride<br /> No, not this time<br /> Not this time<br /> <br /> Now we switch on over to bella's POV. She is a little miffed that he wont let her own whats hers, that is, her heart, her feelings, whatever, right? He's always switching sides, wanting to leave, saying he cant stay, and yet he does. But he his scaryness isnt going to make her change her mind, or take away her pride. She wont let him leave. not this time.<br /> <br /> How did we get here?<br /> I used to know you so well<br /> How did we get here?<br /> Well, I think I know<br /> <br /> This one is a bit harder for me to figure out. It almost seems like a prelude to the second book when edwards about to leave, and hes acting weird and bella senses it, she thinks she knows why. kinda. OR! maybe this is when James is hunting her and she has to split up and she is freaked out and she finds herself alone with alice and jasper and missing edward and is all like wtf? how did we get here? oh. its my fault.<br /> <br /> The truth is hiding in your eyes<br /> And it's hanging on your tongue<br /> Just boiling in my blood<br /> But you think that I can't see<br /> What kind of man that you are<br /> If you're a man at all<br /> Well, I will figure this one out<br /> On my own<br /> (I'm screaming, "I love you so")<br /> On my own<br /> (But my thoughts you can't decode)<br /> <br /> Back to edward! remember how he gets so frustrated he couldnt read bella? he relied on looking at her eyes, which in turn dazzled bella, and almost makes her spill everything shes thinking of as a result. Thats the first three lines. and then it switches back to bella midway, back at the beginning when him vampireness isnt exactly out in the open yet. This is when he still thinks that she doesnt know, and shes like "i get it, ur dangerous but dont wanna be, i see what kinda man you are." and then throws in that line if your a man at all (which hes not, technically) and then she goes on to ponder it on her own for awhile, but she realizes it doesnt matter because she loves him so, and then learns that he cant read her thoughts. Score!<br /> This whole segment is sort of the intro to their relationship. its interesting that Paramore put it in the middle instead of the beginning.<br /> <br /> <br /> Do you see what we've done?<br /> We've gone and made such fools<br /> Of ourselves<br /> Do you see what we've done?<br /> We've gone and made such fools<br /> Of ourselves<br /> <br /> Bella and edward are in their standoff where hes kind of being an ass to her and shes kinda pissed and yearning at the same time. so they are both being stupid i guess.<br /> <br /> <br /> There is something I see in you<br /> It might kill me<br /> I want it to be true<br /> <br /> this one could be from either one of their POV, probably both. They are both unconditionally in love and can't stay away, Its tearing edward apart on the mental scale, and Bella is constantly in danger in his presence. But they sort of see how much the other cares also, and they are hopeful that its the truth<br /> <br /> Sorry for the play-by-play everyone, i know its exhausting. But once i start, i just cant seem to stop. Blame my english teacher, its all her fault lol. Well, enjoy! or not... lol<br />
