By You

This hole in my chest has been getting
The best of my life...

That day in the woods
Hurt me more than any kind of pain
In this life ever should
What's the cause?
I guess I'll walk around in this
Empty shell of all that I was
Hold myself
Who else will?
Please be still

Refrain:
Get up off the floor and try
Never let them see you cry
You're swimming now but
Swans were maent to fly
And the chill of your touch
Never thought I'd miss the cold so much
Wrapped in stone
I felt at home
If only you knew that this hole
Was created by you.

I can't sleep
Dream of you
There you are
It's not true

Refrain

I walk to the edge
I look at the sea
I never imagined how easy it'd be
You give me no choice
To hear your voice
I feel so free

It's a difficult way
To live out each day
I wonder where you are
But now here I come
Don't step in the sun
You're almost in my arms

And the chill of your touch
Never thought I'd miss the cold so much
Wrapped in stone
I felt at home
If only you knew that this hole
Was created by you.

I walk to the edge
I look at the sea
I never imagined how easy it'd be
You give me no choice
To hear your voice
I feel so free

It's a difficult way
To live out each day
I wonder where you are
But now here I come
Don't step in the sun
You're almost in my arms

This hole you created is now dissapated by you...

Jacob Black

Jacob Black
She's not coming back
La Push has come to shove
And she's through with you
Don't you see
You're just a dog to me
If you come near her again
I'll eat you too

Refrain:
First you missed her
Then you kissed her
I'm just watching
You think you're fine
I'm waiting
Contemplating
Don't you screw up
Or you're mine
(x2)

You're nothing but a dog,
Nothing but a dog, nothing but a dog
And it's time for you to face the truth
You're nothing but a dog
Nothing but a dog, nothing but a dog
And she's still way too good for you
Watch your back cause who knows what I'll do
Jacob Black I've got my eye on you

The other day
I thought I heard you say
May the best man win
But I see through your ploy
You may think
That you are on the brink
Of winning her love
But you are just a boy


Refrain

You were there to save her life
When I was far away
Differences aside and
I'll say thank you anyway
The bigger man will shake your hand
And pretty soon you'll see
In your mind you're kissing her
In life she's kissing me

Refrain

Number 3

You won't believe how many things
Are wandering through my head
You're next to me it's plain to see
That maybe you would like me dead

Refrain:
I see it in your eyes
They're as black as night
Here is the surprise:
One, I know it probably should chill me
Two, I think you probably want to kill me
Three, I know I want to spend my life with you
You'd never hurt me
And of all of these
The only one I fear is number 3

Here I go I'm on a roll
I want to know about you
Holy water, stakes in hearts
Tell me is it even true?

Refrain:
Stupid shiny Volvo owner I'm so glad to see you here
It's so awesome when I'm with you I don't ever have to fear

Refrain:
I see it in your eyes
They're as black as night
Here is the surprise:
One, I know it probably should chill me
Two, I think youк brother wants to kill me
Three, I know I want to spend my life with you
You'd never hurt me
And of all of these
The only one I fear is number 3

Refrain

A World Without You

Blood and glass were all I can see
I never should of brought you into my family
Felt the same thirst that he felt
But I'm a bit more kind
Leaving you was the only answer that I could find

Refrain:
Why did I go?
Still love you, you know?
I started dying when the future saw you fall
Imagine how it crushed me after I made that phone call
My instincts took control no thoughts of right or wrong
Believe me when I tell you that I thought that you were gone
I tried to think of how I'd start again
But a world without you is not worth living in

Been so long since I've known pain
I felted through your eyes that night
Among the trees and rain
Lying to you felt so strange
Of course I've always loved you and that will never change

Refrain

I Don't Know

As she sits there so consumed
Does she even know the truth
Of what happened here tonight?
Does she remember who she was?
Brothers, sisters, parents?
Does she even have a name?
Will she change my mind? (change my mind)
Do I want to be that way?
Will it pass in time? (pass in time)
Will I want to every day?

Does the future that I want mean
Losing all the present?
I think in this case that it does
Though I picture myself there when
I see her tremble
The picture starts to fade away
Is it worth the price? (worth the price)
Will I make it past the pain?
Leave it all behind (all behind)
Can I live an endless day?

Refrain:
She stares at me
Peircing my soul
Is it worth losing all I know?
She stares at me
How can I tell
A reflection of my future self
I don't know

Is it worth the price? (worth the price)
Will I make it past the pain?
Leave it all behind (all behind)
Can I live an endless day?

Refrain

Is it worth the price? (She stares at me peircing my soul)
Will I make it past the pain? (Is it worth losing all I know?)
Leave it all behind (She stares at me, how can I tell)
Can I live an endless day? (A reflection of my future self)
I don't know (I don't know)

Sun's Lament

Refrain:
I loved those few months
I wish that things did the same
But, all of that changed when your cold one came
For a moment I was your sun but now he's back
And all I can do is run

Where did you go? (Where did you go?)
Girl that I know would never do this
We'll all grow old
You'll have no soul
Is that your pure less?

Wake me up from this awful dream
If he changes you I think I'm gonna scream
Can't you see I'm not thinking of me?
I'm just trying to save you from yourself.

Refrain

Wake me up from this awful dream
If he changes you I think I'm gonna scream
Can't you see I'm not thinking of me?
I'm just trying to save you from yourself.

Wake me up from this awful dream (I loved those few months, I wish that things did the same)
If he changes you I think I'm gonna scream (But, all of that changed when your cold one came)
Can't you see I'm not thinking of me? (For a moment I was your sun but now he's back)
I'm just trying to save you from yourself. (And all I can do is run)
(X4)

The Third Wife

I see her eyes on the water
Like staring down the barrel of a gun
I never wanted to be a martyr
If I thought that it would help I'd try to run

Refrain:
I can't believe it
It's all my fault
I feel so helpless
Answer the call
She gave it all, but I'd give two
If it meant protecting you
It's not enough just to want to try
Stone in hand, I'll make my stand
It's not a sacrifice
Just like the third wife

If I was strong I would have fought her
Maybe I should have said my last good-byes
I feel I've lead them to the slaughter
If I had the strength, I probably would cry

Refrain

Stay With Me

Can't you see my heart is heavy
Just because I know you're leaving
Sometimes I wish you could read my mind
Look at me I'm always lost,
But I am found and I can't believe it
There is just one more thing I have to ask

Refrain:
Stay with me for a while
Stay with me and I'll smile
Never leave and you'll see
Stay with me, will you please?

Drowning in a topaz sea and
Who knew death could be comforting
The blackness of the past is so far away
I see you and then it hits me
It's no wonder you eclipse me
Everything I wanted has come true

Refrain

And so our paths have crossed
The lion and the lamb
Please tell me you'll never leave me
You're part of who I am

Refrain

Thorns

I can't remember when I've seen someone like you
You're captivating, it's true
All eyes on you my dear they're stuck to you like glue
Anticipating each move
Grace beyond beauty
Mysterious, too
No wonder she hates me
It's cruel

Refrain:
There's a pain underneath her
That makes her just a bit more forlorn
And her hate is directed at me
Don't you see and so obviously
This Rose has thorns

In case you're wondering I'd like to be your friend
Your bitterness never ends
I hope the time comes soon when you can smile at me
I guess that all just depends
Tell me your story
Don't hold any back
Take out your baggage
It's time to unpack

Refrain

She Is Brighter

Diamonds come and diamonds go
There's one thing I'm sure I know
She will last forever
Her past is sketchy but that's alright
Just try to ruin her delight
Its a difficult endeavor

Refrain:
She doesn't walk she is always prancing
Only when she isn't dancing
You don't even know the things she can see
It'd be clearer if you made up your mind
Any chance she gets she'll throw a party
As ostentations as you'll ever find
Share your woes she’ll make them lighter
Future's bright but she is brighter

She is not trapped in wonderland
It's not hard to understand
There are more than premonitions
I'm not waiting for news reports
Forecasts are a last resort
What a wonderful condition

Refrain

When she zones out, its time for you to zone in
'Cause something big is going down

Refrain

Twilight Hour

It's a simple thing
Losing me would hurt you so deeply
I see it in your ocher eyes
Don't let me be an eye blink
In you endless, sleepless eternity
You know you want me by your side

Refrain:
Please tell me why
Take my hand and stop all this debating
Please change your mind
The hourglass only offers so much waiting

Because I'm just one of those grains you see
Slipping down the neck of the bottle
Soon the top will be empty
And you'll be out of me

It's the hardest thing
There are too many Forks here in my road
Which is the path that I should choose
Inside my heart the answer's
Glinting, hinting, waiting for me to see
The road less traveled leads to you

Refrain

Here in our meadow
I see you as you really are
Out of the shadows
You are my shining star
(X2)

Refrain

You're picturesque
Then there's me I'm always such a mess
That never makes you love me less
You offer me protection
When all I want is preservation
Please make the time stand still for me

Refrain

The Last Thing

Every day that I've lived
I didn't know that I was waiting for you
And out of no where you where there
Destructing all I knew

Refrain:
I'm down on my knees
With one thing to ask
I'm begging you please to say yes
Welcome to something new
Where two lives are joined to make one
She said yes and the best of my endless life is to come

Hey, listen to the sound
Of my feet leaving the ground
Hey, love is the last thing that I thought I would have found

Every breath that I take
I want to breathe you in
Your smile is so bright that it feels like the sun
Shinning on my skin

Refrain
Flower In The Shade
Life never turns out how you think
You're floating through complacency and then you start to think
On the plane
I left behind the life I knew
But little bit I know that I'll be landing next to you

Refrain:
I'll walk the walk
I'll fight the fight
Keep calling him by his first name
Basically childhood friend
My forest heart
Sat up the rain
Come bring it out so I can soak you in
Let the story begin

From the desert to the trees
And from alone, to you and me
I promise you I'll always be
Just be on the reach of the sun
In the shade my life has finally begun

Consider this my fairest morning
Now that I met you I'll never let you go

Refrain

This can not be
Has swallowed me
And I don't have ever want to leave
This can not be
Has swallowed me
My life has moved from brown to green

Refrain
