Dashboard Confessional - Don't Wait

The sky glows

I see it shining when my eyes close

I hear your warnings but we both know

I'm gonna look at it again



Don't wait, Don't wait

The road is now a sudden sea

And suddenly, you're deep enough

To lay your armor down

To lay your armor down

To lay your armor down



You get one look

I'll show you something that the knive took.

A bit to early for my own good

Now let's not speak of it again



Don't wait, Don't wait

The road is now a sudden sea

And suddenly, you're deep enough

To lay your armor down

To lay your armor down

To lay your armor down



Don't wait, Don't wait

The lights will flash and fade away

The days will pass you by

Don't wait

To lay your armor down [x5]

belle of the boulevard by dashboard confenssional

Down in a local bar
Out on the boulevard
The sound of an old guitar
Is saving you from sinking
It’s a long way down
It’s a long way

Back like you never broke
You tell a dirty joke
He touches your leg and thinks he’s getting close
For now you let him just this once
Just for now
And just like that – it’s over

[Chorus:]
Don’t turn away
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Don’t be afraid
Keep it all inside, all inside
When you fall apart
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Life is always hard for the belle of the boulevard

In all your silver rings
And all your silken things
That song you softly sing – is keeping you from breaking
It’s a long way down
It’s a long way
Back here you never loved
You’ve shaked the shivers off
You take a drink to get your courage up
Can you believe it
Just this once
Just for now
And just like that
It’s over

[Chorus]

Please hold on – it’s alright
Please hold on – it’s alright
Please hold on

Down in a local bar
Out on the boulevard
The sound of an old guitar
Is saving you

[Chorus x2]

Hands Down by Dashboard Confessional

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 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 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

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.

Dashboard Confessional - Stolen

You watch the season pull up its own stage
And catch the last weekend
Of the last week
Before the gold and the glimmer have been replaced
Another sun soaked season
Fades away

You have stolen my heart
You have stolen my heart

Invitation only, grand farewells
Crash the best one
Of the best ones
Clear liqour and
Cloudy eye
Too early to say goodnight

You have stolen my heart
You have stolen my heart

And from the bottle flow, we are in celebration
One good stretch before our hibernation
Our dreams are sure
And we all will sleep well
We'll sleep well...

You have stolen
You have stolen
You have stolen my heart

I watch you spin around
In the highest heels
You are the best one
Of the best ones
We all look like we feel

You have stolen my
You have stolen my
You have stolen my heart
