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

    so many feelies! reminds me of my girlfriend, and then this other boy... i know you probs shouldn't double up song memories with different people but whatevs, they never have to know XD this band is like the best in its genre for me. it's schmaltzy and whiney but always hits the spot. "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 :D"
