Lyrics
Verse 1:
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.
Chorus:
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
Verse 2:
The words are hushed lets 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.
Chorus:
Bridge/Outro:
Hands down this is the best date 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 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.

Lyrics
Verse
Breath in for luck.
Breath 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 controle.
Your legs are smooth as they graze mine.
We're doing fine, we're doing nothing at all.
Chorus
My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me.
So wont 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.
Verse 2
The words are hushed, let's not get busted.
Just lay entwined here, undicovered.
Safe for the hour 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.
Chorus
Interlude
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.
And the streets where 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.

-over and over and over with slight variation at the end.
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 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,
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 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.
