Hands Up :D | Reviewer: Catieola | 2/13/09 This is such a beautiful song. Great lyrics. I'm gonna actually go try and learn how to play my guitar again just so I can play this song. And I read your whole suckumentary (to the girl on 12/16/07).

I hope I find a guy who feels this way about me. everyone. | Reviewer: kirsty. | 12/4/08 who has a brain would love this song. its hard to believe that one guy actually wrote these lyrics. they are so heart felt. the girl who these lyrics were written for, must be someone special. because it is so beautiful. if only the good guys really did exsist. x love <3 | Reviewer: Paige | 8/18/08 wow, i actually spent the time reading that person's long story && im glad i did. its sad, but true. i agree w/ the whole dont wait 2 tell the person u love them. ive waited 2 many times, && ive always let that person slip through the cracks. this song is incredible, && i fell in love w/ it the 1st time i listened 2 it. dashboard confessional is an amazing group, and chris carrabba is a god (= And I Knew That You Meant It. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/16/07 Why do I love this song? I had a chance with that guy at school about 3 years ago. (Im a junior.) you know, that guy that is like, amazing. The coolest guy in the school. the one that girls dont even bother whispering "ooh hes so gorgeous" about, because that would be stating the obvious. he, a senior, me, a freshman. he was brilliant and extremely witty. He never drank or did drugs, and honestly, it made him even more desired. i was (and am) one of those girls that could be popular, as all of those girls really like me, but I chose not to because i think conformity is ridiculous. And also they bore me and my musical needs. Anyways, this (or in our school’s case, THE) amazing guy started talking to me about music. he was, (of course,) amazing at playing the piano and singing. He even sang his solo for me, and apparently I was the first person he has ever sang for alone. (his mom later told my mom that he hasn’t even sang for his own mother!) I, of course, didn’t even let myself think that he would like someone like me. I mean, how ridiculous! I am a freshman girl, and that would just be too movie-ish to come true. Average girl and amazing guy? Nahh. Well, you must all agree that it does sound too good to be true, right? So, strike one was really understandable for me. A few days later, I picked him a bright yellow dandelion and gave it to him, laughing. He then asked me if I wanted to leave school and have lunch with him during lunch hour. *pauses typing to kick self again for the millionth time.* I said “I cant cuz I am a freshman and I cant leave the school during lunch like you can.” WHAT THE HELL? Ugh. That is how naïve I am, folks. But do you want to hear the part that actually has to do with this song? About a week later, we were just chilling at school, and he randomly asks me if I have a fence. I looked at him kind of funny, and said, ever so brilliantly, “yeah?...” He then recites: And the gate was locked So I jumped it And I let you in. He then goes, “I am gonna jump the fence. Unless you will open the gate for me, that is. Do you know that song? Its really good, you should listen to it.” Yep, I knew that song. I will never forget it, the reason why I love this song. Even though I lost something so amazing and real, and it reminds me of it every time I give it a listen. It represents one of my biggest mistakes ever, but it also reminds me that there really are guys out in the world that can write and feel and love like that. It makes me smile weakly every time I hear it. You could have had that, you silly, naïve girl. And yep, I let that amazing guy get away. The day of his graduation, I brought a leather journal that I had written in, kind of telling him how I felt. I never gave it to him though. He got a gf that day. I ripped out the pages, but for some reason I never threw them away. You are probably wondering why I wrote this long story, cuz you don’t know me and you don’t care about my life suckumentary. Heres the moral, folks: If you love someone, DON’T WAIT. Don’t question it, don’t tell yourself it will never happen. You will regret it MORE if you don’t say anything at all. I would’ve rather been shot down, because at least I would have known instead of sitting here 3 years later wondering if he felt the same as I did. And most most MOST of all: If a guy ever quotes any part of this song to you, you have got yourself a keeper. Don’t let him get away. This song is what I want in a relationship. I feel much better writing this out, finally. It’s a great self-actualization tool, people. Try it. Sorry if you read this whole thing thinking, that was the biggest waste of time ever. Just remember: Dash quoter=keeper. amazing | Reviewer: Danielle | 12/14/07 it was crazy how i came across this song, then began to love it. and the band i watch the new show chuck, on nbc, and i love watching shipper vids, i look for music cause in those videos they have the best songs, and i love this kind of music, so when i heard the beat and everything, the lyrics especially, i fell in love the minute i heard it. it also fit in well with the video i may add ;] and so if it wasnt for chuck, i would have never heard this song and come across a great band. the lyrics are beautiful, i cant stop listening to this song. Hands Down | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/16/07 This song is perfect no matter which album it is with and no matter who sang it.. My friend is such a good friend he knows that this song means a lot to me. I love him so much..... Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3
