Love love love DC! I agree with others... his lyrics are flat out amazing. But I ahve to say... I love the acoustic stuff more. :) Especially of this song.
@ImaruKun10 yeah i can't find it either but i think its on the album but not sure... i haven't had the chance to get it yet... the acoustic was given for free on valentines day so thats probably why its everywhere....
Um...Fulknawsm....Townes Van Zandt wrote "If I Needed You" Im pretty sure Chris wrote everything on "Alter The Ending". At least that what is says in the liner notes on the CD.
@fulknawsm....Townes Van Zandt wrote "IF I NEEDED YOU" Im pretty sure Chris wrote everything on "Alter the Ending" or at least thats what it says in the CD notes. (I still buy CDs) LOL! Have a wonderful day! : )
Wonder how he picks words up. Situations mentioned in the song are very common, but definitely different from other songs. What makes his lyrics really special like this?
Personally, I think Chris is a lyrical genius. Yes, it is a simple song, but, what woman in her right mind wouldnt like to have their husband whip out the ol' guitar and sing this to them?
@asskicks I didnt mean anything BAD. I am a HUGE Dashboard fan....if you read my original comment, I said "Chris is a lyrical genius" and I meant it. : ) This is one of my favorite songs off of Alter the Ending...but, I do like this version better. You should DEFINATELY sing this to your future wife...she'll love you forever for that! Have a great day :D
honestly i think the lyrics lack a bit of depth. he can write better songs and has written better songs but it isnt too bad his old acoustic stuff is the best.
I think the simplicity of it is why it is so touching. Love shouldn't be complex. It should come naturally. That's why it's considered sensual. I agree with you that this is one of his better songs lyrically.
I agree. These r some of his best lyrics. I love how he can repeat "Even now.." every line and make it more powerful doing so. I wish this version was on the album too
i like the acoustic version more. it sounds more mellow for me. anyways, i rly love dashboard confessional. they are the best alternative band for me. thnx for sharing this ldyxk1m :)
I don't think many people realize how sad this sing is...

I like this, but I feel that the acoustic version is much more honest in some way.
