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.

About the best date he ever had...does it get better then that, the music, emotion, lyrics, fun...oh I love everything about this song...ends the trilogy of the story he wrote...and I think is there best commercial song to date! The accoustic version is as good as the rock version...but the best is the extended versions that he does live...(just like w/ Remember To Breathe)...honestly, if you can get a hold of one of the extended versions from a dl program..it is worth it!

First time I heard this song I was truely amazed. This song is great: rhythm, melody, the whole nine yards. I'm not going to sit here and be a "teeny booper" saying how much I love Dashboard Confessional. But I will say how much I love this song.

The first Dashboard confessional song I heard was vindicated and I thought yeah, this is pretty good. I got bored a while ago and looked around on the internet and found as lovers go thought, yeah I like this too. Heard Don't wait on MTV2 and loved it, then caught Screaming infidelities and Hands Down, and I'm totally hooked. I love acoustic bands like Turin Brakes (Earlier Stuff) and The Scene Aesthetic so I absolutely love D/C. I've been singing this song for the last month, it's been stuck in my head helps that Mr Carrabba is kinda cute lol both versions are good
