dashboard

oh dashboard. they hold a special place in my heart because of this song:

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 highthat 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.

yes i know you recognize the words to "hands down" as this is one of the first songs that they played on the radio. when joey and i first started dating, he said that there's a dashboard song that reminded him of me - actually, just a part of the song, that reminded him of me. it's the part at the end "and you stood at your door with your hands on my waist and you kissed me like you meant it." the first day that joey and i had kissed he had sent me a text earlier in the day that said "i want to" i had no idea what he was talking about. we were supposed to go shopping together for our friend's birthday and i thought that he wanted to go shopping with me but i wasn't sure. so i texted him back and i said "you want to what?" and i never got a reply back. him and the other joey had tried to go shopping for our friend's birthday but came up empty handed so i ended up getting the present. he picked me up and we went to the birthday dinner, the bar and then out to tommy's before he had to take me home (this is when i lived in the apt in anaheim with dana). people usually came in through the garage so i was letting him out of the garage and then he stood in the doorway so i hugged him from behind (with my hands on his waist) and he turned around and we kissed. and we meant it. and he knew i meant it and i knew he meant it. it was really cute. sorry that's really cheesy. he sent me a text as he drove away that said "that is what i meant by my text earlier." the little sneak had planned it all along. but it was still cute. anyway, we kept it on the downlow for about a week - this was on december 26 - and all of our friends had bets that we were going to hook up - they had pre- and post- new year's bets. so joey threw a new year's eve party at his house and when the clock struck midnight i wasn't sure what to do because it was still on the dl. and he went over to me and i thought we were going to beso beso but he kissed me - in front of all our friends, his sisters and cousins. and they all thought it was a new year's kiss but didn't think anything of it. until the next week when we were still kissing. haha. that was new years 2004. anyway, that's why dashboard holds a special place in my heart. and of course, that was the last song that they played last night and it was awesome. i heart dashboard.
