Again I Go Unnoticed Lyrics

So quiet
Another wasted night,
The television steals the conversation.
Exhale,
Another wasted breath,
Again it goes unnoticed.

Please tell me you're just feeling tired,
Cause if it's more than that I feel that I might break.
Out of touch; out of time.

Please send me anything but signals that are mixed,
'Cause I can't read your rolling eyes.
Out of touch; are we out of time?

Close lipped,
Another goodnight kiss
Is robbed of all it's passion.
Your grip
Another time, is slack.
It leaves me feeling empty.

Please tell me you're just feeling tired,
'Cause if it's more than that I feel that I might break.
Out of touch; out of time.

Please send me anything but signals that are mixed,
'Cause I can't read your rolling eyes.
Out of touch; are we out of time?

I'll wait until tomorrow;
Maybe you'll feel better then.
Maybe we'll be better then.

So what's another day,
When I can't bear these nights of thoughts
Of going on without you?

This mood of yours is temporary;
It seems worth the wait
To see your smile again.

Out of the corner of my eye
Won't be the only way you're looking at me then.

So quiet
Another wasted night,
The television steals the conversation.
Exhale,
Another wasted breath,
Again it goes unnoticed.

Again I Go Unnoticed

This song tells the desperate story of a guy trying to hold on to a relationship that's dead. He feels it, yet he can't quite accept it. She's distant and cold but he hopes that she'll come around because he still loves her.

This appeared on each of the first two Dashboard Confessional albums, The Swiss Army Romance and The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most.

The Best Deceptions Lyrics

I heard about the trip.
I heard about your souvenirs.
I heard about the cool breeze in the cool nights
And the cool guys
That you spent them with.
I guess I should have heard of them from you
I guess I should have heard of them from you

Don't you see, don't you see,
That the charade is over?
And all The Best Deceptions
And the clever cover story awards
Go to you.
So kiss me hard 'cause this'll be the last time that I let you.

I heard about your regrets.
I heard that you were feeling sorry.
I heard from someone that you wished you could
Set things right between us.
I guess I should have heard of that from you
I guess I should have heard of that from you

So don't you see, don't you see,
That the charade is over?
And all the best deceptions
And the clever cover story awards
Go to you.
So kiss me hard 'cause this'll be the last time that I let you.

You will be back someday,
And this awkward kiss that tells of other people's
Lips
Will be of service
In giving you away.

So don't you see, don't you see,
That the charade is over?
And all the best deceptions
And the clever cover story awards
Go to you.
So kiss me hard, 'cause this'll be the last time that I let you.

I'm waiting for blood
To flow to my fingers
I'll be all right when my hands get warm.
Ignoring the phone,
I'd rather say nothing,
I'd rather you never heard my voice.
You're calling too late,
Too late to be gracious.
And you do not warrant long good-byes.
You're calling too late,
You're calling too late.

The Best Deceptions

In this song, Chris Carrabba sings about a girlfriend cheating on him: "I heard about the cool breeze and the cool nights and the cool guys that you spent them with. I guess I should have heard of them from you."

The line, "Don't you see that the charade is over and all the best deceptions and the clever cover story awards go to you," means that she doesn't have to act like she cares anymore - that's the charade. The clever cover story awards go to her because she is good at making up a lie to tell him so she doesn't get in trouble.

Carrabba described this song on his MTV Unplugged appearances as being about "feeling bad and feeling better."

The Swiss Army Romance Lyrics

Sleep with all the lights on
You're not so happy
You're not secure

And you're dying to look cute
In your blue jeans
But you're plastic just like everyone
You're just like everyone

And that face you paint is pressed
Impressing most of us as permanent
But I'd like to see you undone

College night will draw the crowds
Dorms unload and you're heading out
Here is your moment to shine
Making up a history
It's nothing from the life you lead
But man, will they buy all your lines

Sleep with all the sheets off
Bearing your mattress
Bearing your soul

And you're dying to look smooth
With your tattoos
But you're searching just like everyone
You could be anyone

And those friends you have are the best
Impressing most of us as permanent
But I'd like to see you undone

Youth's the most unfaithful mistress
Still we forge ahead to miss her
Rushing our moment to shine
Making up a history
It's nothing from the life you lead
But man, will they buy all your lines

We're not twenty-one
But the sooner we are
The sooner the fun will begin

So get out your fake eyelashes
And fake I.D.s
And real disasters ensue

It's cool to take these chances
It's cool to fake romances
And grow up fast

And grow up fast
And grow up fast

The Swiss Army Romance

The title track to the first Dashboard Confessional album, this song is about teenage girls trying to grow up fast. They wear makeup and tight jeans and use fake IDs when really they're very unsure of themselves and putting on an act. Chris Carrabba wrote the song because he felt like girls were missing the best years of their lives because they wanted to act older than they were. (thanks, Kerry - New York, NY)

In live versions of this song, Carrabba sometimes changes the lyric to the first person: "I'm dying to look cool with my tattoos, but I'm searching just like everyone, I swear I could be anyone."

Carrabba would sometimes dedicate this song to the fans who came out to see his shows before he was popular.

Shirts And Gloves Lyrics

When I'm back from the road then you're out on it
And I'm tired of the distance and I believe it's overrated

And this phone tag game is endless
The novelty is wearing
I'm hoping time will pass without any assistance or convincing

Road rules apply
There's so much action
You're getting busy

I'll call your cellular phone to tell you TV night was lonely without you
And so am I, so am I

It seems our day keeps falling on a leap year
So many high points on this last leg
I can't wait to recount them
It seems like nothing's happened until I've shared them with you

The note that you had called says you're half a day away
And you're heading home just in time for me, for me to leave

Road rules apply
There's so much action
I'm getting busy

So make sure that I'm up to date on TV night
I hate to miss out
I think I miss you most on Wednesdays and Saturdays

It seems our day keeps falling on a leap year

Shirts And Gloves

Chris Carrabba wrote this about life on the road and how he missed the show Dawson's Creek. Chris used to watch the show with his girlfriend, and when he went on tour they didn't get to watch it together anymore. (thanks, Anthony - Valley Stream, NY)

At some concerts, Carrabba would play some of the Dawson's Creek theme song (Paula Cole's "I Don't Wanna Wait") at the end of this.

Ender Will Save Us All Lyrics

It's just like you to contest
Wear it 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 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
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

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 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
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

Try not to be wrong

Ender Will Save Us All

This song draws its name from how Chris Carrabba got back together with an old friend he had fallen out with though sharing the Ender books. They read the four books in the series at the same time, and discussing them rekindled the friendship.

Carrabba wrote the song when they weren't getting along, which is what inspired the lyric. After they reconnected, he decided to name the song after the books because they essentially saved their friendship. "Ender" never appears in the lyric.

Chris Carrabba has listed his name as "Chris Ender Carrabba" in some instances, including on the "Hands Down" single and Summers Kiss EP. This was done as a joke: His real middle name is Andrew, and in the Ender books, the main character's real name is Andrew Wiggin.

The Ender books were written by Orson Scott Card, and are about a boy named Ender Wiggin who battles aliens in an attempt to save the Earth.

Carrabba wrote this song when he was in a pre-Dashboard Confessional band called Vacant Andys. Originally called "Ender," he changed the title to "Ender Will Save Us All" when he recorded it as Dashboard Confessional.
