I have been so giddy all day! On my way home from the gym this morning I heard a Bella and Edward song. Now, many of you are not country fans, I have to admit that I am. I am not really a fan of this group (Rascal Flatts), but they are growing on me. I have heard this song several times, but for some reason it really hit a 'Bella and Edward' chord this morning. Who knows why...?! I got home and even was able to get Joseph to help me find the lyrics. I was so excited...I didn't tell him, by the way, why I was wanting the lyrics...he just thought I was excited about this new song! Now before I attach the words, I have to say that I haven't even re-read this part in Twilight (since I did get my book back - YEAH!), but it has always been one of my favorite parts - for lots of reasons. After Port Angeles, when he interrogates her before, during, and after school - I always thought - man, I'm so glad I am past that part in my relationship with Joseph - I'm not very good at being the center of attention/expressing my feelings/talking about myself. All of it makes me uncomfortable and self-conscious. So, at all those little moments when Bella blushes, or she can't understand why Edward is sooo interested - I'm right there with her!!
Ok, so enough of this babbling...this song just made my heart flip! To me it's really what was happening when Edward was trying to find out about Bella. And if you remember parts (in later chapters and books) where Edward reminds her of how she fascinates him and surprises him - it just makes you feel for him all the more, and really believe that she is for him. So enjoy these words - if you're brave turn the station to country for awhile and you'll probably hear it!!! I love it!!!!
Take Me There (Rascal Flatts)
There's a place in your heart nobodys been
Take me there
Things nobody knows, not even your friends
Take me there
Tell me about your mama, your daddy, your hometown
Show me around, I want to see it all
Don't leave anything out
I wanna know everything about you then
And I want to go down every road you've been
Where your hopes and dreams and wishes live
Where you keep the rest of your life hid
I want to know the girl behind that pretty stare
Take me there
Your first real kiss, your first true love
You were scared
Show me where you learned about life,
spent your summer nights
Without a care
I wanna roll down Main Street, the back roads,
like you did when you were a kid, what made you who you are
Tell me what your story is
I wanna know everything about you then
And I want to go down every road you've been
Where your hopes and dreams and wishes live
Where you keep the rest of your life hid
I want to know the girl behind that pretty stare
Take me there
Yeah, I wanna know everything about you
Yeah, everything about you baby
I wanna go down every road you've been
Where your hopes and dreams and wishes live
Where you keep the rest of your life hid
I want to know the girl behind that pretty stare
Take, me, take me, take me there
Oh, I wanna roll down Main Street
I wanna know your hopes and your dreams
Take me, take me there - yeah.

I don't think I've heard that one yet. I may have, but sometimes when I listen to the radio I just hear the song but not the words. I will be listening more carefully, I can't wait to hear it! They are a more popular group, and especially if the song's new, they'll play it more. By the way, I am a country fan, so I almost always am flipping through one of the country channels if I remember to even pay attention to the radio and not the thoughts in my head (or the yelling kids in the car with me). Thanks for that insight. I LOVE that part in Twilight, but way more the 2nd time around. That song couldn't be more absolutely perfect for what Edward might be thinking. He just wants to know every single detail about her whole life, trivial or not, he wants to know everything about her. Plus, you know he remembers each and every answer she gives him. He locks it away in that brilliant mind of his. She does fascinate him and he wants to know as much about her as possible to try to figure out the girl that he has fallen in love with, what has helped her become who she is now.
Thanks! Fun!
Oh man Erin. You should have been giddy. That was wonderful. So sweet. I just get this little expansion in my heart when I think about this stuff. It's nice to know someone else is thinking about it too. I bet we could all admit that part of the fascination with Edward is that he has found Bella, after such a long existence. An existence during which he didn't even feel anything was missing. Now he has found love. True and everlasting (even though during the moment this song describes, he is still falling in love). And he is so overwhelmed by what he was missing. We couldn't imagine ourselves without the loves of our lives, even though time mellows some of the emotions.
Anyway, kind of lengthy here. Just trying to justify, as always, my fascination with such a beautiful and emotionally poignant relationship. That song is truly, truly, perfect!
I still have never heard this song. At least I don't think I have, I would really like to. Maybe I'll look it up online to listen to a sample, then I'll know if I've heard it before and know what tune to listen for.
OK, so I finally heard that song the other day on the radio! And as I thought, I have heard it before, the tune was very familiar, but I've just never really listened to the words. I heard it again tonight, and made my husband keep it on the station when he tried to turn it. He said that the only reason I like it is because of Twilight, surprised I asked how he knew, and he apparently saw the post on the blog one day when I left it up. Darn! I look forward to hearing it again though, it is so perfect for that time in Twilight, so perfect! Another funny note, while I was listening to it loudly in my car the other day for the first time since I've been waiting to hear it, I passed a street sign that said "Alice Street" Kind of ironic huh?
I know this is an older post, so someone let me know if you get it. Has anyone else been able to listen to the lyrics?
I still haven't heard it, and I really want too. This is mostly because I have been laying off the country stuff because my other stations have more songs that remind me of Twilight. Goodness, did I just admit that?
