Dashboard Confessional - Hands Down (Official Music Video)

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 those 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
And the streets were wet
And the gate was locked
So I jumped it
And I 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

1:55 and on is one of the best outros of that Era. I'm 41 and this shit makes me feel like I'm walking out of my 8th grade dance after my first real kiss all over again. Shit

[@doneriteplumbingandrooter3927]

Your math doesn't add up it was written in 01 with your age you were 19. Not 8th grade. Deffinately a nostalgic song of easier days I was just getting out of highschool.

[@uspockdad6429]

@@doneriteplumbingandrooter3927 To be fair, he didn’t say he was in 8th grade, he said it makes him feel like he’s in 8th grade. I’m a couple years older, but remember being 20-21ish and feeling the same way about the song. It feels like it’s describing that first romantic love you felt for someone else, but for me that was 9th grade.

[@kdubs7398]

Damn the first feeling of love in this song. Feels like yesterday and not 20 years ago. Time flies.

[@armybrat0912]

I used to listen to them, yellow card, story of the year and taking back Sunday so much back in high school. And now I can actually afford to go see them live. 😊😊

[@TheOrihuela7]

Vans warped tours back when i was 15 /16 remember those?!!😢😊

[@jasonm9264]

I remember watching this video on Fuse waaaay back. God I miss those days, was 16 when this came out

[@alexmarich504]

Right.

[@leilanicampbell2594]

This also played on mtv if you stayed up really late or woke up at 5 am! I didn’t have anything but basic cable. But this song reminds me after my first date with my first boyfriend. He is my husband now 💌

[@MoreThan_Bob1776]

Fuse TV 📺 I remember this, A favor house Atlantic by Coheed, Underoath writing on the walls, lot of blink 182 aswell, AFI, chevelle, flyleaf, taking back sunday, Yellowcard, my chemical romance, Jesus even lost prophets I think 🤔 who else, uummm . . Oh The Used obviously, motion city soundtrack, damn so many more I can't remember, I guess I'm getting old lol

[@timwilmes8657]

Warped tour '02 & '03

[@TheOrihuela7]

I miss those times man! These times and songs will be so nostalgic to us the more the years pass by. We were lucky to have had such a generation. Miss these times soo much

[@Cloud3214]

[@kunaldebnath3879]

2:35 💛 you meant it

[@OrdieBoomBoom87]

It took me years to find this music video. 16 year old me is so happy.

[@camronc.5699]

I saw this video on a original xbox demo disk. I think the original label took the video down. This was sophomore year for me.

[@Funky7Monk]

the drums in this song are fabulous! They show the skills of the drummer, but also completely serve the song.

[@user-yx2xm1bg6j]

This is the best way to explain love.

[@uspockdad6429]

Yup, even though I was 20ish when it came out, it reminded me of that first time you find out what romantic love feels like. You’re first kiss. Doing fun and silly stuff together, and not giving a damn what the world thinks.

[@abielbaguna9133]

This song is one of the best punk emo song especially the last part of the song, its really fantastic

[@oso6620]

The definition of what one does when in love.... That last verse .... 👌

[@Whocares792]

Always wondered why this video was hard to find in KZbin, got that Windows Movie Maker feel

[@robertanderson5598]

Thanks for the upload haven’t seen this music video in 7 years

[@ggkoukla]

This version was actually hard to find when we got married back in 2017, so thank you so much ❤

[@michaelashtonjr.ashohara1414]

[@sorrawitstk41]

I love this song so much 😢reminds me of my youth growing up

[@peaaanuuutz]

I remember trying to listen to this song with a dialup connection back in 2005 lol man that was painful

[@scottd1903]

1:13 this part is so cheesy and I love every second of it

[@Jaachi-Aaron-Chukwunyere-041]

I finally get the chance to see a music video like this one? 😃

[@doctorj2321]

[@natalie_rose2861]

I'll never understand why some artists don't post their old music videos on KZbin... it's like do you not want to make money...? Cuz that's the only thing I can think of. They must be allergic to receiving free cash.

[@rosiecheeks.k]

😂😂

[@fernandonepo8438]

Most times it's due to copyrights involving the record label. Carraba talks about this one in the Chris Demakes A Podcast.

[@DanielWhite-v4e]

I don't like this song that much. It's the sort of thing I needed to hear when I did. And I don't forget that.

[@brandonevensen6863]
