Twilight
Jessica Lea Mayfield & Seth Avett Lyrics

I haven't laughed this hard in a long time
It's been a while since something made me happy enough to laugh like this.

I better stop now before I start crying
I don't want to ruin this moment by getting emotional and upset.

Go off to sleep in the sunshine
I want to bask in the happiness of this moment before it's over.

I don't wanna see the day when it's dying
I don't want this moment to end or for things to go back to the way they were before.

She's a sight to see
She's attractive and pleasant to look at.

She's good to me
She treats me well and is kind to me.

But I'm already somebody's baby
I'm in a committed relationship with someone else and can't be with her.

She's a pretty thing
She's beautiful and has attractive qualities.

She loves everything
She has a positive outlook on life and enjoys many things.

But I'm already somebody's baby
Despite her attractiveness, I cannot be with her because I'm already in a relationship.

You don't deserve to be lonely
You are a good person and shouldn't have to feel alone.

But those drugs you got won't make you feel better
Trying to fill the void with drugs won't truly cure the loneliness you feel.

Pretty soon you'll find it's the only
Eventually, relying on drugs will be the only way to cope with the loneliness.

Little part of you life you're keeping together
Drugs are the only thing holding you together and keeping you from falling apart.

I'm nice to you
I treat you kindly and with respect.

I can make it through
I can handle your difficult situation and be there for you.

But you're already somebody's baby
Although I can support you, I cannot replace the person you are already committed to.

I can make you smile
I can make you happy and bring joy to your life.

If you stay a while
If you spend more time with me, I can continue to bring happiness into your life.

But how long will you stay with me baby?
I'm worried that your commitment to your current relationship will eventually take precedence and you will leave me.

Because your candle burns too bright
You are such a vibrant and exciting person that it's hard to keep up with you and match your energy.

Well I almost forgot it was twilight
I was so caught up in the happiness of this moment that I almost forgot that it is temporary and will eventually fade away.

Even if I think that you are mine
Despite my feelings for you, I know that you belong to someone else and I cannot have you.

Well I'm tired of being down, I got no fight
I'm exhausted from trying to fight my feelings and thoughts, and I'm ready for a change.

You're wonderful
You are amazing and have many great qualities.

And it's beautiful
Our time together has been wonderful and beautiful.

But I'm already somebody's baby
Despite the happiness we shared, I cannot betray the person I'm committed to by pursuing a relationship with you.

And if I went with you
If I left my current relationship to be with you.

I'd dissapoint you too
I would ultimately let you down and disappoint you, just as I did to the person I left behind.

I'm already somebody's baby
I cannot change that I am already in a committed relationship and cannot be with you.
