Song lyrics
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 your kiss might kill me,
So won't you kill me, so I die happy?
My heart is yours, to fill or burst,
To break or 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 your kiss might kill me,
So won't you kill me, so I die happy?
My heart is yours, to fill or burst,
To break or bury, or wear as jewelry.
Whichever you prefer.

Hands down, this is the best day I can ever remember.
I'll 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.
That you meant it, that you meant it.
And I knew that you meant it, that you meant it.

I have to agree with RapidDc11. I live in NB. (Newport Beach, California) Though I may come off as a snob, a prep, or a loser I still love this song. But a buncho...everyone likes the all hard core version while i looove the acustic. I think its such an awsome song cause its just is. But its the same with Zeppelin, ask anyone from like 13-15 what their fave zeppelin song is and I gurantee you theyll say "Stairway to Heaven." Same with d/c . "Hands Down." Anyway, to anyone who actually likes d/c cause they like them really. Try Screaming Infedelities.

i do like this song. but their old stuff is a lot better. i have a swiss army romance cd (and i know it came out after 'a mark, a brand, a mission, a scar') and it has better stuff on it than the 2nd cd. and i dont like little girls who are like "omg! i love dc! i love dc! hands down is my fave song. *giggles*" bc honestly, i dont think they get the meaning of the song. you cant just listen to a song once and totally understand the meaning of it. so for all you little 12 years olds..get a life and go back to your pop princesses...and dont call yourself "punk" bc stereotypes are so stupid.

*turpentine chaser is the best song!

Such a fantastic song. I've been listening to every song that I can get my hands on! They have such an ability to make you feel what they're saying in their lyrics. They are amazing...everything is amazing. I'm definitely a fan for life.

I only downloaded this song after reading sum diary where some1 said they were obsessed with it. At first I didn't really like it. Until I really listened to it now I love it. I really love the "And you kissed me like u ment it, and I knew, that u ment it..." part.

I'm still trying to get used to their new stuff

I do like the title track, Hands Down.

But I prefer their plain ol' acoustic stuff.

I normally am not a big fan of a groups more popular songs, but this happens to be one of my favorite DC songs. Perhaps even my absolute favorite...

This has to be my favorite song of all time.

Every version of it is just plain good. I like the acoustic version better though because Chris's voice isnt hidden behind alot of music. Hes amazing though and its intrestin to see how he puts alot of his lyrics together, like vindicated *hope dangles on a string, like slow spinning redemption*

My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me, so wont you kill me, So I die happy.

Ah..whut a hottie
