“Wherever You Will Go” by Charlene Soraia

So lately, been wondering
Who will be there to take my place
When i’m gone, you’ll need love
To light the shadows on your face
If a great wave shall fall
It would fall upon us all
And between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own?

If i could, then i would
I’ll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I’ll go wherever you will go

And maybe i’ll work out
A way to make it back some day
To watch you, to guide you
Through the darkest of your days
If a great wave shall fall
It would fall upon us all
Well i hope there’s someone out there
Who can bring me back to you

If i could, then i would
I’ll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I’ll go wherever you will go
Run away with my heart
Run away with my hope
Run away with my love

I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart, in your mind
I’ll stay with you for all of time

If i could, then i would
I’ll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down lowI
‘ll go wherever you will go
If i could make you mine
I’ll go wherever you will go
If i could turn back time
I’ll go wherever you will go
I’ll go wherever you will go

Here’s a vote for Elena trying to decide if she should choose death or undeath.

“World Spins Madly On” by The Weepies

Woke up and wished that I was dead
With an aching in my head 
I lay motionless in bed
I thought of you and where you’d gone
and let the world spin madly on

Everything that I said I’d do 
Like make the world brand new
And take the time for you
I just got lost and slept right through the dawn 
And the world spins madly on

I let the day go by 
I always say goodbye
I watch the stars from my window sill 
The whole world is moving and I’m standing still

Woke up and wished that I was dead 
With an aching in my head 
I lay motionless in bed
The night is here and the day is gone
And the world spins madly on

I thought of you and where you’d gone 
And the world spins madly on.

Here’s a vote for either-
a) Damon finally getting to hold Elena and know she’s alive, or
b) Elena finding Stefan after she turns 

“That Home” by Cinematic Orchestra

There is a house built out of stone
Wooden floors, walls and window sills
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust
This is a place where I don’t feel alone
This is a place where I feel at home

‘Cause, I built a home
For you, for me

Until it disappeared
From me, from you

And now, it’s time to leave and turn to dust

Out in the garden where we planted the seeds
There is a tree as old as me
Branches were sewn by the color of green
Ground had arose and passed it’s knees

By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top
I climbed the tree to see the world
When the gusts came around to blow me down
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
I held on as tightly as you held onto me

‘Cause, I built a home
For you, for me

Until it disappeared
From me, from you

And now, it’s time to leave and turn to dust

Here’s a vote for the song playing when Damon tries to walk away from Elena so she can be happy (we all know how far he’ll get).

“Heart & Mind” by Kina Grannis

I write you letters from right to left
See if you have desire yet
To decipher what I said
And learn secrets from my head

It was hard for me to say
Those three words that are so brave
Almost kept them locked away
Deep inside where they’d be safe

Always trying to find
A safer place to hide
Always felt I was protecting my…
Heart and mind
Heart and mind
But it seems like to really feel alive
I cannot hide
My heart and mind

I don’t know why I get shy
Tucked away inside my mind
Scared to let someone inside
I sit silent in disguise

Always trying to find
A safer place to hide
Always felt I was protecting my…
Heart and mind
Heart and mind
But it seems like to really feel alive
I cannot hide
My heart and mind

The day I found the strength inside me
just by finally realizing
is it truth that is inside 
that I really cannot hide
my heart and mind…

Always felt I was protecting 
my heart and mind
but it seems like to really feel alive
I cannot hide my heart and mind
I cannot hide my heart and mind…

Here’s a vote for Elena’s feelings towards the Salvatores in season 4 (though personally I think the lyrics also skew towards Damon talking to Elena, especially ‘change your mind and say you’re mine’…oh, hell, ALL THE LYRICS… I’m voting this the unofficial Damon theme song for season 4 haha).

“Stay” by Hurts
My whole life waiting for the right time

To tell you how I feel.
Know I try to tell you that I need you.
Here I am without you.
I feel so lost but what can I do?
‘Cause I know this love seems real
But I don’t know how to feel.

We say goodbye in the pouring rain
And I break down as you walk away.
Stay, stay.
‘Cause all my life I’ve felt this way
But I could never find the words to say
Stay, stay.

Alright, everything is alright
Since you came along
And before you
I had nowhere to run to
Nothing to hold on to
I came so close to giving it up.
And I wonder if you know
How it feels to let you go?

You say goodbye in the pouring rain
And I break down as you walk away.
Stay, stay.
‘Cause all my life I’ve felt this way
But I could never find the words to say
Stay, stay.

So change your mind
And say you’re mine.
Don’t leave tonight
Stay.

Say goodbye in the pouring rain
And I break down as you walk away.
Stay, stay.
‘Cause all my life I’ve felt this way
But I could never find the words to say
Stay, stay.

Stay with me, stay with me,
Stay with me, stay with me,
Stay, stay, stay, stay with me.

“Five Seconds” by Twin Shadow

i’ll stick to your heart
straight to your heart
i can’t get to your heart
she said five seconds and you’re high
straight to your heart

you don’t believe in me
so how could you make me cry

five seconds to your heart

and when it comes we kiss
when it comes it sounds like

she said five seconds in your heart

i’m not trying to make you cry
i don’t believe in you

but i’m not trying to make you cry
five seconds in your heart

but i’m not trying to make you cry
five seconds in your heart
straight to your heart

Here’s a vote for Vampire Elena’s song for Season 4 as she goes back to the routine of saying ‘I’m fine, thank you’, when she’s not. 

“Breathe” by He Is We

Harness your heart, and be still now.
Quiet that mind that will wander,
All sorts of dark alleys.
Tragedy strikes your self esteem,
Constantly waiting for an ending,
To all of this.

She opens her eyes,
Suddenly she cries.
Can we help her, can we help her?
And she replies.
You know, I fake it oh so well,
That God himself can’t tell.
What I mean and why my words are,
Less than parallel.
With my feet,
You ask me what I need.
And all I really need,
Is to breathe.

Oooohh.
Ahhaah.

People, they seem so interested.
Only a few get invested,
With all the aches and pains.

Doctor oh, doctor,
Please help her.
I fear she may not be breathing.
Blue lips, and doe eyes,
That’s her disguise.

You know, I fake it oh so well,
That God himself can’t tell.
What I mean and why my words are,
Less than parallel.
With my feet,
You ask me what I need.
And all I really need,
Is to breathe.

Oooooh
Ooooh, oh
Oooooh
Oooooh

(Oooooh)
Give me some space to breathe,
(Ooooh, oh)
I need a little room to breathe.
Give me some space to breathe,
All I need is a little room to breathe.
I fake it oh so well,
That God can’t tell.

You know, I fake it oh so well,
That God himself can’t tell.
What I mean and why my words are,
Less than parallel.
With my feet,
You ask me what I need.
And all I really need,
Is to breathe.
Let me breathe.

Here’s a vote for the song Bonnie and Jeremy get back together to (yeah, I knew I wasn’t the only one who saw that coming).

“Hanging On”

You see my anxious heart 
You see what I am feeling 
And when I fall apart 
You are there to hold me 
How great your love for me 
Now I see what You’re thinking 
You say I’m beautiful 
Your voice is my healing 

Without You I just can’t get by 
So I’m 

Hanging on to every word You speak 
‘cause it’s all that I need 
Hanging on to every word You say 
To light up my way 
Even every little whisper I’m 
Hanging on as if it were my life 
I’m hanging on 

And when the darkness falls 
I can’t see what’s before me 
Your voice is like the dawn 
Always there to guide me 

Without you I just can’t get by 
So I’m 

Hanging on to every word You speak 
‘cause it’s all that I need 
Hanging on to every word You say 
To light up my way 
Even every little whisper I’m 
Hanging on as if it were my life 
I’m hanging on 

You know me better than I know myself 
Better than anybody else 
Your love is sounding like a ringing bell 
Oh, oh, I won’t let go 

Hanging on to every word You speak 
‘cause it’s all that I need 
Hanging on to every word You say 
To light up my way 
Even every little whisper I’m 
Hanging on as if it were my life 
I’m hanging on

Here’s a vote for the background music as Stefan or Damon gives Vampire Elena a pep talk. Probably on the front porch.  That porch has seen a lot of action.

“Letters From the Sky” by Civil Twilight

One of these days the sky’s gonna break
And everything will escape and I’ll know
One of these days the mountains
Are gonna fall into the sea and they’ll know

That you and I were made for this
I was made to taste your kiss
We were made to never fall away
Never fall away

One of these days letters are gonna fall
From the sky telling us all to go free
But until that day I’ll find a way
To let everybody know that you’re coming back
You’re coming back for me

‘Cause even though you left me here
I have nothing left to fear
These are only walls that hold me here
Hold me here, hold me here, hold me here
Only walls that hold me here

One day soon I’ll hold you like the sun holds the moon
And we will hear those planes overhead
And we won’t have to be scared
‘Cause we won’t have to be scared
We won’t have to be, yeah, scared, no

You’re coming back for me
You’re coming back for me
You’re coming back to me
You’re coming back for me

You’re coming back for me
You’re coming back for me
You’re coming back for me
You’re coming back for me

You’re coming back for me
You’re coming back for me
You’re coming back for me
You’re coming back for me

You’re coming
You’re coming back for me
You’re coming back for me

You’re coming back for me
You’re coming back for me
You’re coming back to me
You’re coming back to me

You’re coming back for me
You’re coming back
