Mashed Up As: Hands Down Gandhi by The Legion Of Doom
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,
which ever you prefer.
The words are hushed lets not get busted;
just lay entwined here, undiscovered.
Safe from the earth 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 jewelery,
which ever 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 the 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
A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar

I hated the acoustic version, unless it is on Unplugged, but the version with the full band is just great. It's catchy, but it's not like Screaming Infidelities.

One of my least favorite Dashboard songs. The acoustic version from their "So Impossible" EP is much better. This entire album was a HUGE letdown. ...It was was the downfall of dashboard.

Not one of my favorites, but it's okay. I like most of the songs from the CD The Places You Have Come To Fear the Most, and the song The Secret's in the Telling and Rooftops and Invintations are my favorites right now. How come no one can ever just review a song anymore? Why all the petty shit? It's dumb. But I like the song, anyway.
