A Dashboard Confessional Dedication

1. A Dashboard Confessional Dedication • My tribute to a band that I think is one of the greatest bands in the entire world

2. Why I Think Dashboard is the Greatest… • I was introduced to Dashboard by my friend Beth. Hands Down was the first song I ever heard by Dashboard. Their songs really mean a lot to me. The lyrics seem so connected to my life. The guitar playing is also amazing. Plus, Chris Carrabba is really hot!! Dashboard Rocks!!!!!

6. Dashboard Lyrics • The next few things are just gonna be some of my favorite dashboard songs and little bits and pieces from the lyrics. Seriously guys, you have to go buy the Dashboard CD’s… they are awesome. **Note: not all of the songs are in full… you have to buy the CD to truly appreciate them though 

7. Hands Down 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 control/ your legs are smooth/as they graze mine/ we’re doin fine/we’re doin nothing at all/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’d 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 cant hear/so we can get some/…hands down this is the best date I can ever remember/always remember/the sound of the stereo the dim of the soft lights/the scent of your hair/which you twirled in your fingers/and the time on the clock/when we realized its 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

8. Living in Your Letters Always assuming the worst/but you’re goin on nonetheless/and there’s nothing to coushin your heart led fall/letters from further away/keep pullin me close to home/and there’s something to coushin my callous sighs/And I know that you hope for/longer goodbyes/embracing for forever/and fallin in your eyes/in your eyes/Pouring over photographs/I’m living in your letters/breathe, deeply from this envelope/it smells like you/and I cant be/without that scent/its filling me with all you mean to me/to me/Continually failing these trials/but you stand by me nonetheless/and you won’t let me sink though im begging you/im begging you/phone calls from further away/and messages on my machine/but I don’t ever tell you this distance/seems terrible/And there’s no need to test my heart/with useless space/these roads go on forever/there’ll always be a place/for you/in my heart/in my heart/So I’ll hit the pavement/it’s gotta be better than waitin/and pushin you/far away cuz im scared/so I’ll take my chances and head on my way up there/cuz turnin to you is like fallin in love when you’re ten

9. Screaming Infidelities I’m missing your bed/I never sleep/avoiding the spots/where we’d have to speak/and this bottle of beast/is taking me home/I’m cuddling close/to blankets and sheets/but you're not alone/and you're not discreet/make sure I know who's taking you home/I'm reading your note over again/and there's not a word that I comprehend/except when you signed it/I will love you always/and forever/well as for now I'm gonna hear the saddest songs/and sit alone and wonder/how you're making out/but as for me/I wish that I was anywhere/with anyone/making out/I'm missing your laugh/how did it break?/and when did your eyes/ begin to look fake?/I hope you're as happy as you 're pretending/I'm cuddling close/to blankets and sheets/and I am alone/in my defeat/I wish I knew you were safely at home……/…your hair/its everywhere/ screaming infidelities/and taking its wear/ your hair/ its everywhere/screaming infidelities/and taking its wear

10. Again I Go Unnoticed So quiet!/another wasted night/the television steals the conversation/exhale!/another wasted breath/again it goes unnoticed/Please tell me you’re just feeling tired/cuz if it’s more than that I feel that I might break/out of touch/out of time/please send me anything but signals that are mixed/cuz I cant read your rolling eyes/out of touch/are we out of time?/Close lipped!/another goodnight kiss/is robbed of all its passion/your grip/another time is slack/it leaves me feeling empty/Please tell me your just feeling tired/cuz if its more than that I feel that I might break/out of touch/out of time/please send me anything but signals that are mixed/cuz I cant read your rolling eyes/out of touch/are we out of time?/I’ll wait until tomorrow/maybe you’ll feel better then/maybe we’ll be better then/so whats another day/when I cant bear these nights of thoughts of going on without you/this mood of yours is temporary/it seems worth the wait to see you smile again/out of the corner of my eye wont be the only way you’re lookin at me then…

11. --”So long sweet summer/I stumbled upon you and greatfuly basked in your rays!/So long sweet summer!/ I fell into you now you’re gracefully falling away/Hey thanks,/thanks for that summer/its cold where your goin/I hope that your heart’s always warm/I gave you the best/I gave you the best that I had…”– Age Six Racer --”The hint of these new tears is sharp/I try to choke them back/but its useless!/im useless against them! They’re beating me with ease”– The Sharp Hint of New Tears --”Its hard to explain how I am getting by on so little from you/its hard to believe that I would let myself get so wrapped into you/there’s gotta be something/that would be worthwhile for me to give to you/we need a connection/but you seem to push me far away from you/The harder I push/the farther I fall/but you don’t mind me bein headstrong!”– Ender Will Save Us All
