Dashboard Confessional Lyrics
Song: Hands Down
Album: A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar

Breathe in for luck, breathe in so deep,
This air is blessed, you share with me.

This night is wild, so calm and dull,
These hearts they race from self control.

Your legs are smooth as they graze mine,
We’re doing fine, we’re doing nothing at all.

My hopes are so high,
That you kiss might kill me.
So won’t you kill me? So I die happy.

My heart is yours to fill or burst.
To break of bury, or wear as jewelry,
Whichever you prefer.

The words are hushed, let’s not get busted.
Just lay entwined here, undiscovered.

Safe in here, from all the stupid questions.
“Hey did you get some?”
Man that is so dumb.

Stay quiet, stay near,
Stay close they can’t hear.
So we can get some.

My hopes are so high,
That you kiss might kill me.
So won’t you kill me? So I die happy.

My heart is yours to fill or burst.
To break of bury, or wear as jewelry,
Whichever you prefer.

Hands down, this is the best day I can ever
Remember, always remember, the sound of the
Stereo, the dim of the soft lights, the scent of your
Hair that you twirled in your fingers, and the time
On the clock, when we realized it’s
So late, and this walk that we shared together.

The streets were wet, and the gate was locked,
So I jumped it, and I let you in.

And you stood at your door, with your hands on
My waist, and you kissed me like you meant it,
And I knew that you meant it.
