Lyrics for Hands Down as interpreted by BrandNew1208

Hands Down 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 jewelery, 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 jewelery, 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 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
I knew that you meant it, that you meant it

at first, i didn't really like this song. i saw it live in july, and i just did not like it. but after seeing it again in november, and hearing it over and over again whilst i listened to my ep, it's become my favourite song on the ep overall. the last verse is just so indescribable. i don't know, i just connect so much with this song. it's crazy. i can't wait to see it live again.

what makes chris so great is that he has a way to connect to a lot of people with his songs. "hands down" is just another one of them songs that I can relate to, and thats why i'm obessed with dashboard

On further inspection, I think this is a great band. I tend more to like the music than the lyrics of a song, so at first I didnt care for DC, but their okay, not my favorite but a worthy band nonetheless! : )

No, it's Dan Hoerner from SDRE, not Matt Pryor.

Lost Messiah - Do you find comfort in degrading others music choice? What is your purpose in posting negative comments about music others enjoy? Does it make you feel as if you've accomplished somethign? Music is so diverse and there are so many different varities of music, you're not going to enjoy every genre of music. But, what is the purpose in degrading music others enjoy? To prove that you are feeble minded? Granted.

At any rate - I find this to be one of my favorite Dashboard songs. When I saw Dashboard live[Vagrant Tour], I believe he played Remember to Breathe, not Hands Down. Abeit, I may be wrong. This song strays from the heart break driven music, which I could relate to. I still like this ALOT, nonetheless.
