This song is AMAZING! I think it was especially made for Twilight and that being the case I think that the song is from Bella's AND Edward's point of view. The first verse is Edward's
"How can I decide what's right
When you're clouding up my mind?
I can't win
You're losing sight
All the time"
"Not gonna 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"
Edward is scared and confused as to why he can't read Bella's mind. He's upset that she almost made him lose control and all these feelings are new to him.
The second verse is Bella's point of view and what she is feeling.
"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
(My thoughts you can't decode)"
Bella knows that there is something that Edward is hiding. She doesn't know that he is a vampire yet, this is still at the beginning, confusing stages of their relationship. "My thoughts you can't decode" Edward is unable to read Bella's mind.
"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"
Both Bella and Edward are scared of this newfound love and the consequences that may follow.
"How did we get here?
I used to know you so well, yeah
How did we get here?
Well, I used to know you so well
I think I know
I think I know"
The chorus basically tells of the pre-conceived notions that they had of eachother. They thought they had the other all figured out but now they are in completely new territory.
"There is something I see in you
It might kill me
I want it to be true"
The last lines speak of the hope that the love will grow.
I am so excited for this movie!!!
Harry Potter is still #1 in my heart!
@Sprinkles, thank you so much for actually telling us the song meaning!

I do not watch or read Twlight, so I was a bit confused. I thought this had a more... negative meaning. "You think I can't see what kind of man you are if you are a man at all..." "I used to know you so well... How did we get here?" ... see how that can be interpreted? Like she got into a relationship and found out that maybe this guy is really terrible. Wondering how she got herself into his mess.

But anyway, now...
But anyway, now that someone said it was written FOR the movie and explained it, it makes total sense. I like my interpretation better, though.
I really like this song. Also, Paramore sounds just as good as they always have, IMO.
