now playing :: Dashboard Confessional - Hands Down
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 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.
press my face up to the window
to see how warm it is inside
see the things that i've been missing
missing all this time
it's not telling you how i feel that scares me,
it's what you'll say back that does.
a person may be in love with someone
until the end of time...but if that person
doesn't tell their feelings of love...it will
juss be another person living a dream..
all the pain i thought i knew
all the thoughts lead back to you
back to what was never said
back and forth inside my head
i can't candle this confusion
i'm unable; come and take me away
there's a smile on my face and i don't know why
i put it there to satisfy all the people
that don't even know what's mine but no words
will get me down this time
i might not be all that you want
i might not be all that you need
i might not be the girl of your dreams
but i could show you what love means
each time i hear your voice
i can't help it
it's not by choice
my heart beats faster,
my knees get weak,
my stomach gets butterflies,
i can hardly speak;
every minute feels like brand new.
i can't help it
*i'm falling for y.o.u*
he holds me when i start to cry
makes me smile with juss his eyes
shares my hopes, dreams and fears
wipes away all my tears
i love him without regret
i juss haven't found him yet
. you're my addiction .
. and i can't get enough of you .
a friend is someone who
knows the song in your heart,
and can sing it back to you
when you have forgotten the words
to all my friends 143
here i go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
you are my only one
i let go, there's juss no one that gets me like you do
you are my only, my only one
sleeping awake and choking on a dream
listening loudly to a silent scream
call my mind, the number's unlisted
lost in someone so warped and twisted
maybe you were all faster than me
we gave each other up so easily
these silly little wounds will never mend
i feel so far from where i've been
so i go, and i will not be back here again
i'm gone as the day is fading on white houses
i lie, put my injuries all in the dust
in my heart is the group of us
how dare you say that my behavior is unacceptable
so condescending unnecessarily critical
i have a tendency of getting very physical
so watch your step cause if i do you'll need a miracle
you drain me dry and make me wonder why i'm even here
this double vision i was seeing is finally clear
you want to stay but you know very well i want you gone
not fit to fucking tread the ground that i am walking on
when it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
you'll understand what i mean when i say there's no way we're gunna give up
like a little girl cries in the face of the monster that lives in her dreams
is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
the - worst - is over now and we can
breathe again. i want to hold you high
and .* steal *. your pain |[ a w a y ]|
while they dance she holds him ;; pulls him close.
while he dreams of another and counts the days til
he lets go. same old story that everyone knows.
one heart holding on and the other l e t t i n g go -
