“We wrote ‘Meet Me On the Equinox’ to reflect the celestial themes and motifs that run throughout the Twilight series, and we wanted to capture that desperate feeling of endings and beginnings that so strongly affect the main characters,” said Death Cab for Cutie bassist Nick Harmer. “This song marks the first attempt that Death Cab for Cutie has ever made at contributing new, unreleased material for a film. It just seems a perfect synergy that a band from the Northwest would create a song for a series of novels set in the Northwest. We are not only proud to be a part of the Twilight legacy but also honored to join so many other fantastic artists that have learnt their amazing creativity to this soundtrack.”

Meet me on the equinox - chords and lyrics

From TWILIGHTSAGA


MEET ME ON THE EQUINOX
DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE

Gm7
Meet me on the Equinox
Meet me half way
Eb Cm
When the sun is perched at it's highest peek
Gm7
In the middle of the day

Let me give my love to you
Let me take your hand
Eb Cm
As we walk in the dimming light
Gm7
Or darling understand
Eb Cm Gm7
That everything, everything ends
Eb Cm Gm7
That everything, everything ends

Meet me on your best behavior
Meet me at your worst
Eb Cm
For there will be no stone unturned
Gm7
Or bubble left to burst

Let me lay beside you, Darling
Let me be your man
Eb Cm
And let our bodies intertwine
Gm7
But always understand
Eb Cm Gm7
That everything, everything ends
Eb Cm Gm7
That everything, everything ends
Eb F Cm Gm7
That everything, everything, everything ends
Eb
A window
F Cm
An opened tomb
The sun crawls
Gm
Across your bedroom
Eb
A halo
Edim
A waiting room
Cm
Your last breaths
Gm
Moving through you
Eb Cm Gm
As everything, everything ends
Eb Cm Gm
As everything, everything ends
Eb F Cm
As everything, everything, everything
Gm Eb Cm Gm
Everything, everything, everything ends
Gm
Meet me on the Equinox
Meet me half way
Eb Cm
When the sun is perched at it's highest peek
Gm
In the middle of the day

Let me give my love to you
Let me take your hand
Eb Cm
As we walk in the dimming light
Gm
Or darling understand
Eb Cm Gm
That everything, everything ends

*I couldn't properly align the chords to the right words. You can listen to the video above and figure out when to shift chords. Also on the verse part, Eb can be omitted. Gm7 and Cm sounds actually fine.
