"Hands Down" as written by and Christopher Andrew Carrabba....
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 jewellery,
Whichever you prefer.
The words are hushed lets not get busted;
Just lay entwined here, undiscovered.
Safe from the hour and 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 jewellery,
Whichever you prefer.
Hands down this is the best date 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, and I knew,
That you meant it, that you meant it.
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 jewellery,
Whichever you prefer.
The words are hushed lets not get busted;
Just lay entwined here, undiscovered.
Safe from the hour and 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 jewellery,
Whichever you prefer.
Hands down this is the best date 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, and I knew,
That you meant it, that you meant it.

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.
"Breathe in for luck, breathe in so deep
This air is blessed, you share with me"
-smoking weed or cigarettes. breathing the same "blessed" air.
"This night is wild, so calm and dull
These hearts they race from self control"
- the night is "wild" because they snuck out, doing something rebellious. self control, like holding your breath and staying absolutely when sneaking out. OR self control like not kissing eachother or something because they're around other people, and they're hearts are racing because of it.
Your legs are smooth as they graze mine
We're doing fine, we're doing nothing at all
-sitting close to eachother in someones house or outside, not doing anything, but being completely content with it.
"My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me
So won't you kill me, so I die happy?"
-we have all felt this, wanting SO badly to kiss someone that you might just die when they do. sort of related back to the "hearts race from self control"
"My heart is yours to fill or burst, to break or bury
Or wear as jewelery, whichever you prefer "
-they have feelings so strong for the other person on a fun and wild night, but it doesnt matter if they break their heart, show it off or keep it because in that moment nothing could change how perfect it was.
"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
-hooking up somewhere in secret. nobody knows where they went, and they just want to get away from the other people and the dumb drama that comes along with them.
"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"
-last part is pretty self explanitory.
this song fits so well with a night i had. it always reminds me of it and puts the images right back in my head. love dashboard!!
