Breaking Dawn: Book One – Chapter 5 - Edward's perspective
I half-smiled, then raised my free hand—it didn’t tremble now—and placed it over his heart. White on white; we matched, for once. He shuddered the tiniest bit at my warm touch. His breath came rougher now.
“I promised we would try,” he whispered, suddenly tense. “If… if I do something wrong, if I hurt you, you must tell me at once.”
I nodded solemnly, keeping my eyes on his. I took another step through the waves and leaned my head against his chest.
“Don’t be afraid,” I murmured. “We belong together.”

I have, I have you breathing down my neck
Breathing down my neck
I don't, don't know what you could
Possibly expect under this condition

So I'll wait, I'll wait
For the ambulance to come, ambulance to come
Pick us up off the floor
What did you possibly expect
Under this condition, so slow down
This night's a perfect shade of

Dark blue, dark blue
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room?
Well, I'm here with you, I said
The world could be burning and burning down

Dark blue, dark blue
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room?
Well, I'm here with you, I said
The world could be burning
'Til there's nothing but dark blue
Just dark blue

And this flood, this flood
Is slowly rising up, swallowing the ground
Beneath my feet, tell me
How anybody thinks under this condition

So, I'll swim, I'll swim
As the water rises up, sun is sinking down
And now all I can see are the planets in a row
Suggesting it's best that I slow down
This night's a perfect shade of

Dark blue, dark blue
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room?
Well, I'm here with you, I said
The world could be burning and burning down

Dark blue, dark blue
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room?
Well, I'm here with you, I said
The world could be burning dark blue

We were boxing, we were boxing the stars
We were boxing, you were swinging from Mars
And then the water reached the west coast
And took the power lines, the power lines

And it was me and you
And the whole town underwater
There was nothing we could do
It was dark blue

Dark blue, dark blue
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room?
Well, I'm here with you, I said
The world could be burning and burning down

Dark blue
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room?
Well, I'm here with you, I said
The world could be burning
Now there's nothing but dark blue

If you've ever been alone
You'll know dark blue
If you've ever been alone
You'll know, you'll know
