::Ender Will Save Us All:Dashboard Confessional [ORIGINAL]

::LYRICS::
:It's just like you to contest
you wear it like a label on your breast
don't you see what this takes of me?
A certain callousness complies
in your charm and in your pride
a hopeful look draped in despise

I want to give you whatever you need
What is it you need? Is it what I need?
I want to give you whatever you need
What is it you need? Is it within me?

It's hard to explain how I am
getting by on so little from you
It's hard to believe that I would
let myself get so wrapped into you
There's got to 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 further I fall
Well you don't mind me being headstrong
But you don't want to sing along
Maybe it's trite but I can always,
always,always,always,always be wrong

It's just like you to contest
you wear it like a label on your breast
don't you see what this takes of me?
A certain callousness complies
in your charm and in your pride
a hopeful look draped in despise

I want to give you whatever you need
What is it you need? Is it what I need?
I want to give you whatever you need
What is it you need? Is it within me?

It's hard to explain how I am
getting by on so little from you
It's hard to believe that I would
let myself get so wrapped into you
There's got to 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,from you,from you,from you

The harder I push the further I fall
Well you don't mind me being headstrong
But you don't want to sing along
Maybe it's trite but I can always,
always,always,always,always be wrong, be wrong

Try not to be
Try not to be
Try not to be
Try not to be wrong
Try not to be wrong:

I was looking on google to see what people thought were some of the best Dashboard Confessiona songs, and I was shocked that so many people didn't even include this song on their lists. This song is clearly the best.

[Dreammage1]

listing to the song reading Ender's Game... like a boss

[thejybarber]

@TheSpectat0r THANK YOU. I was wondering, why is this song named after Ender's game? It has nothing to do with it. Thanks for clearing it up.

[ChristianSchor]

@xeionx That is true but is also Chris's middle name.

[MidwestSunrise]

I downloaded this song ages ago under the name "need" so I could never find anything about it online, aah! Glad I found it now. Describes perfectly what I'm going through..

"It's hard to explain how I am getting by on so little from you, it's 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.."

Beautiful song <3

@xeionx Holy shit really? I've had this book for years, never read it and never put it together.... derp

[LoveHavokk]

@ak40kevn For a good reason, wonder why? jesus, everyone thinks this kid is gonna write a song about himself entitled "I will save us all"? fuck.

His parents obv loved the book(s).

[hurflower]

i always thought this version was better than the original

[TheSpectat0r]

@xeionx its not from that book. Its his name, Chris Ender Carrabba.

[jellocase]

@PierzStyx i wouldn't be shocked if that book did save their relationship, its too good.
