Hands Down Lyrics

[00:12.55] Breathe in for luck, breathe in so deep
[00:18.19] This air is blessed, you share with me
[00:22.82] This night is wild, so calm and dull
[00:28.26] These hearts, they race, from self-control
[00:33.38] Your legs are smooth as they graze mine
[00:38.65] We're doing fine, we're doing nothing at all
[00:42.96] My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me
[00:46.60] So won't you kill me, so I die happy?
[00:52.87] My heart is yours to fill or burst to break or bury
[00:59.63] Or wear as jewelry, whichever you prefer
[01:03.70] The words are hushed, let's not get busted
[01:07.37] Just lay entwined here, undiscovered
[01:13.15] Safe in here from all the stupid questions
[01:17.32] "Hey, did you get some?" Man, that is so dumb
[01:26.30] Stay quiet, stay near, stay close, they can't hear
[01:30.25] So we can get some
[01:34.11] My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me
[01:38.17] So won't you kill me, so I die happy?
[01:44.41] My heart is yours to fill or burst, to break or bury
[01:50.66] Or wear as jewelry, whichever you prefer
[01:54.88] Hands down, this is the best day I can
[01:59.39] Ever remember, I'll always remember the sound
[02:05.07] Of the stereo, the dim of the soft lights
[02:09.30] The scent of your hair that you twirled in your fingers
[02:14.53] And the time on the clock when we realized it's so late
[02:19.61] And this walk that we shared together
[02:24.91] The streets were wet, and the gate was locked
[02:29.48] So I jumped it and I let you in
[02:34.80] And you stood at your door with your hands on my waist
[02:40.05] And you kissed me like you meant it
[02:45.16] And I knew that you meant it, that you meant it, that you meant it
[02:55.45] And I knew that you meant it, that you meant it
[03:04.45]
