Help I'm Alive by Metric
(lyrics)
I tremble, they're gonna eat me alive
If I stumble they're gonna eat me alive
Can you hear my heart beating like a hammer?
Beating like a hammer
Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
Hard to be soft, tough to be tender
Come take my pulse, the pace is on a runaway train
Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer, beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
If you're still alive my regrets are few
If my life is mine what shouldn't I do?I get wherever I'm going, I get whatever I need
While my blood's still flowing and my heart's still
Beating like a hammer, beating like a hammer
Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
Hard to be soft, tough to be tender
Come take my pulse, the pace is on a runaway train
Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer, beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
If you're still alive my regrets are few
If my life is mine what shouldn't I do?
I get wherever I'm going, I get whatever I need
While my blood's still flowing and my heart's still beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer, beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
I tremble, they're gonna eat me alive
If I stumble they're gonna eat me alive
Can you hear my heart beating like a hammer?
Beating like a hammer, beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer

I see this as a Bella-esque P.O.V. from the moments directly after meeting the Volturi for the first time.
"
If you're still alive my regrets are few" obvz about Edward, and could be flipped for Edward's feelings towards Bella.
And I can also see this song as describing Bella transitioning to living in Forks (trembling/stumbling being the new girl, etc etc), but it's a foreshadowing of what is really going to happen.
"
They're gonna eat me alive", Bella thinking that figuratively about the kids at her new school, but it's actually a literal lyric [at least when dealing with Jazz
]
And I think this lyrics in particular,
"Hard to be soft, tough to be tender" is gorgeous and truthful in describing Edward.
