What's a rock/emo song that tells someone that you love them?

Question

I'm looking for an upbeat, fast emo or rock song that tells someone that you love them. I'm making a mixtape for my girlfriend, but I don't want it to sound too cliche (I love you, I need you or I'll die, You are my air, etc). I want a song that communicates to her with the meaning of something like "Somebody - Depeche Mode", but tells it subliminally, kind of. She doesn't like pop, so don't give me pop! She is indie, with a mix of emo cultural style.

Thanks!

Answer 1

You could try songs by the veronicas, john mayer, good charlotte, colbie calliat, sugababes, mariah carey, norah jones, musiq soulchild especially the "you and me" song by him, justin timberlake, no doubt, plain white tees, lauryn hill, norah jones, ella fitzgerald, and Usher.  I hope you find love songs amongst these artists hits.

Holding On by Scary Kids Scaring Kids

THERE GOES THE SUN!!!

Just trying to find your way anywhere

But you’ve come to find you’re alone

Its getting dark and you’ve lost your way

I haven’t let you go as long as you know that..

I’m losing what’s left of my dignity

But ill fight till the end for her heart

Ill never give up for what’s possibly

For better for worse this love must be cursed

Just try to keep your head down

But you come to find that trust has come and gone

Everyone out there is listening

But you don’t care at all and you’re probably glad to know

I’m losing what’s left of my dignity

But ill fight till the end for her heart

Ill never give up for what’s possibly

For better for worse this love must be cursed

You already let it pass through your lips you can’t take it back now [x4]

I’m losing what’s left of my dignity

But ill fight till the end for her heart

Ill never give up for what’s possibly

For better for worse this love must be cursed

Holding on to her

This love must be cursed

I’m holding on to her

This love must be cursed

I’m holding on

I’m afraid to say she never made it home

Couldn’t keep her head on

She was so close

I’m afraid to say she never made it home [x5]

Answer 10

There is a song, an amazing one, shall I add, by Black Tide called, "Let Me." It's really great. Here are the lyrics:

Are you the one

That I've been looking for all along

I can't wait any longer

I don't have much time

Please tell me now

Let me have you

Let me touch you

Let me get inside [1x]

Your skin, your exquisite flesh, your sweat

Drips down your neck, please tell me one day

You'll be mine, all mine

The heat from your body, drives me insane

And I doubt that I can stand much longer

When I'm around you my body aches

And when I see your face everything else

Just seems fake

Let me have you

Let me touch you

Let me get inside [3X]

How much longer must I wait

How much longer will I crave

How much longer can I stand you

I'm trapped in this h**l

Are you the one

That I've been looking for all along

I can't wait any longer

I don't have much time

Please tell me now

Let me have you

Let me touch you

Let me get inside [3x]
