1st Verse:
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
A (pause)
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 jewelry
Whichever you prefer
2nd Verse:
The words are hushed, lets not get busted
Just lay entwined here, undiscovered
Safe and near from all the stupid questions
“Hey did you get some?” Man, that is so dumb
D Bm G (pause)
Stay quiet, stay near, stay close they can't hear
So we can get some
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 jewelry
Whichever you prefer
Bridge/Outro:
Hands down this is the best day
I can ever remember
Always remember
the sound of your stereo, the dim of the soft lights,
the scent of your hair, that you twirl in your fingers
Bm (pause) G
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,
D (hold)
that you meant it
