Song lyrics

Send "Ender Will Save Us All" ringtones to your cell

It's just like you to contest
Wearing like a label on your breast
Don't you see what this takes of me?
A certain callousness complies with 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 made a connection but you seem to push me far away 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 be wrong

Trying not to be 
Trying not to be wrong

26 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal ^^ yeah. there's some story behind this song about a friend that he had lost touch with, then they got back in touch and ... i don't remember it too well.

25 posts	naming your kid? alright.. sure the more popular songs are awesome, but whats makes this MORE awesome is that when people think of dc its not the first or second [or third for that matter] song that pops into their head. swiss army romance cd is awesome because it has a few songs that you dont usually hear about on it. yea hands down and screaming infidelities rock.. but the least recognized of stuff can sometimes be better.

9 posts	This song is great. Its a good sample of their older, more mellow stuff. I dont like their new CD. But their old stuff will forever be the best. ROCK ON DASHBOARD !

21 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I am so in love with this song and I totally agree that because it is a song that you need to actually listen to the whole CD and not just the popular songs in order to hear it -- it makes it even better. I feel really sorry for all of you who only know the song Hands Down - it's crap compared to songs like this one.

4 posts	Frog 3489: "i heard this song was based on the book Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card... " yeah thats what i thought too. its a science fiction series about a boy called ender who has to save the universe or something.i find it supremely cool chris has used this title. and yeah also his middle name is ender, guess he just liked the connection there. he is so cool. the not-so-recognised songs are better, (vindicated ugh) but i have to admit hands down is probably my favourite love song of all time. its just so eeemoo. don't we all just love that word.byenow.

4 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal in response to everyone wondering about the use of the name Ender in the title: the story that i know/believe is that chris and one of his friends had lost contact, etc. however, they both loved this book and it helped to save their friendship.

92 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Trying to figure out the "connection" between someone you love and wondering if they are pushing away...or just accepting how it is...definately old school and one of the great DC songs!

16 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I love this song, SAR is the best album ever, hands down. not just because it has 2 or 3 good songs, but because every song on the album is more than worth listening to. they have just about anything you could want. DC is the best.
