“This Is For Keeps” – The Spill Canvas
The streets are dark, my pulse is flat-lined
as I’m running to you
You sit completely unaware of what I’m about to do
The air is thick with tension much like when we are together
My fangs are aching as I’m pondering about you and I forever
As I round your corner
I am nervous that you won’t be my lover
I knock three times and hope that my pale complexion won’t blow my cover
You answer the door with your innocent face
Would you like to leave this human race, tonight?Eternity will never be enough for me
and eternally we’ll live our infallible loveMy brain is pumping an unusual secretion of lust
Your eyes are softer now
and your chin, it drips a bloody color of rust
I am raising up the stakes of this round, I am playing for keeps
Oh, would you like to leave this human race, tonight?Eternity will never be enough for me
and eternally we’ll live our infallible loveFollow me into the sea
We’ll drown together and immortalize you and me
Leave behind this lonely town
We’re both better than this, it’s not worth being downEternity will never be enough for me
and eternally we’ll live our infallible loveFollow me into the sea
We’ll drown together and immortalize you and me
Leave behind this lonely town (eternally)
We’re both better than this, it’s not worth being down (eternally)
What a fantastic portrayal from Edward’s view. The drum beats really are hypnotic and the whole song screams “epic!”
I think this song really captures the essence of his character. Very nice post. Kudos!
Wait. Was this written about Twilight? Or just vampires in general? Its really good though. Good choice, Chris.
I love this song….. I first heard it last summer and you can totally capture Edward in the song. Very good choice and very, very, good song!!!
What an amazing song. It’s so perfect for Edward. It could almost be his theme. They should really consider this for the soundtrack in the upcoming movies.
Wow this song kinda of reminded me of new moon. i don’t know why it just did. I like it! its a good song.
Oh My Goodness! This song is amazing. They really should consider it for the movies – seriously
It’s a really great song! I love it and it fits
Btw,thanks for running this amazing site!!!!
“I am raising up the stakes of this round, I am playing for keeps”- thats my fav line, such a great song perfect for Edward

This song is amazing!! I think this song totally fits Edward’s personality in twilight
I think song goes for twilight and new moon. But still this song is amazing nice find Chris!!
You guys are so awesome! You find the stuff I keep looking for. I got a 8gb MP3 for my birthday last month and I was looking for songs that fit twilight and sure enough you guys have the hot new things! This song is like sitting in EDWARDS head!
Good Job guys….always awesome.

What a perfect song for Edward! It almost makes me cry.
interessting song, but I have to say, thanx to your little player on the side, I adore the score, there! Thanx so much for it!
Actually Stephanie Meyer already had this on her playlist- So she found it….
Um.. OK. I didn’t know that so I found it too..
Haha. I used to LOVE this song! Reminds me of my senior year of high school…
(oh, that was 4 years ago) How did I get so old?
realy great song
and its perfect for this!!!!!
perfectly captures Edward, very nice!
I like it!!!
Great song! It seems like it was written for twilight. And I agree, definitely soundtrack worthy!
Love it!
chris, this is brilliant. on to the ipod it goes…
Holy cats that is freaking awesome … “Follow me into the sea
We’ll drown together and immortalize you and me” so sweet! Perfect for their honeymoon when they were in the ocean together!!
Not my favorite song… the chorus is good but I don’t really like the rest. Love the lyrics! They totally scream Edward. <3
this is good Im going to put it on my website which is http://myrandomlife11.webs.com . Chris, also try “Shelf” or “Tonite” both by The Jonas Brothers
Spill Canvas has a lot of good Twilight songs…my friend put together her own Twilight Soundtrack and picked like three of their songs…look up All Over You and All Hail The Heartbreaker…very good songs by The Spill Canvas!!!
oh wow, this is actually one of my top fav songs off the spill canvas.
i never really payed attention to the lyrics on how they can relate to twilight and such.
amazing. =D
This song is AMAZING, this band is AMAZING and Twilight is AMAZING lmao. This is actually one of my favourite songs I love them!!!
I heard this song a long time ago and instantly thought of Twilight. It fits the story absolutely perfectly!
I made an Edward/Bella video to it on my youtube. Check it out!

You seriously just found out about this song? It’s been out forever and it was on ‘Edwards’ Myspace page a long time ago. And Stephenie’s playlist.
It’s ridiculous this wasn’t on the soundtrack.
this has been out for AGES i was obsessed with it like 3 years ago.. we should petition for this to be on the next sondtrack
I’m a fan. Already added it to my Ipod.
this is actually PERFECT!
ive been knowing this song forever but havent listened to it since before i became a twilight freak so i never thought about it
and m making it my new myspace song (:
THANKS!
this is beautiful. what a good find, chris! thanks for sharing this with us, im definately getting this on itunes.
Yeah this is good. I love the lyrics. So fits the whole Twilight thing. I’m going to go download it now. I love the drum beats, its very simple which is cool.
it works i love this song i may download to my mp3
ok weird, i know this guys… i dated one guy and the other was my roommate… would you guys like me to say something to them??????
ok talked to landon from The Spill Canvas and he said the boys will have to talk to their manager about contacting summit… so maybe it could be on the sound track! how cool would that be?
OMG! This song is so freakin’ amazing!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Chris!
yeah, its like the best song that really fits the movie. I was really wondering why its not even in the soundtrack! sucks.. but its okay. love the song so much!
I love it. Perfect song for them! xD
Oh My Carlisle this song is absolutely amazing and just screams Edward!! Awesome choice!!!
If this song does not describe Edward & Bella to the tee…I don’t know what other one does!!!
oh my gosh, i thought the exact same thing when i heard this song like a year ago. and i was like, “how come nobody notices how much this song is like twilight?”
you should also try “lullaby” by the spill canvas, because it DEFINITELY goes along with twilight, or more specifically, midnight sun!
Can anyone send it to me? or tell me were I can download it?
Its not available in the UK itunes.
Love this song, Perfect, it screams Edward!
this song is perfect. You can capture Edward in this song it reminds me of the part in new moon when their on the plane going back home.
okay, this song is absolutely unbelievably perfect.
probably the only song that isn’t written for twilight that captures twilight so perfectly.
i love it.
XD
the verse about the sea reminds me of the best book ever, breaking dawn!!!
Wow… A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Love it! Gonna go download it now! =D
this song really captures the love that edward and bella feel for each other.
I love this song!!!!!
Cool! I think I heard this song when I saw them a month ago, but I can’t remember cause I couldn’t really hear any of lyrics…
oh my gosh, this song is A-fricking-MAZING!!! as soon as i heard the first couple lines of the song i though “holy crow! that’s edward’s story!!
” and i loved it. fantastic song choice!! i have to download it!! 
thats a really cute song. i love it!!
this is a really crazy coincidence. very good song but it just explains edward’s perspective perfectly. especially the beginning. very good choice!!!
Holy love of all thats holy!!! I love this song!
“My fangs are aching as I’m pondering about you and I forever…”
That quote is going in my dairy!
I’ve heard this song from you tube a long time ago and i ddnt know that it was about vampires or twilight! its soo gud! they should put it in New Moon movie when Edward leaves Bella it would be EPIC!!! AHHHH
OMG !!!!!!! this is like my new favorite song !!!! it portrays Edwards piont of veiw sooooo perfectly !!!! its like edwrd wrote it himself !!!!!!
It's not about vampires or twilight, all those things are just metaphors. This song actually came out in 2005, so it was not written for Twilight at all.
