Dashboard Confessional ☆ Dashboard Confessional – Vindicated

Hope, dangles on a string,
like slow spinning redemption,
winding in, and winding out,
the shine of it has caught my eye
and roped me in
so mesmerizing,
so hypnotizing.
I am captivated.
I am vindicated,
I am selfish,
I am wrong,
I am right, I swear I’m right
I swear I knew it all along
and I am flawed
but I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now
the things you swore you saw yourself…
So clear
like the diamond in your ring,
cut to mirror your intention,
oversized, and overwhelmed,
the shine of which has caught my eye
and rendered me
so isolated,
so motivated.
I am certain now that
I am vindicated,
I am selfish,
I am wrong,
I am right, I swear I’m right,
I swear I knew it all along,
and I am flawed
but I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now
the things you swore you saw yourself.
so turn up the corners of your lips,
part them, and feel my fingertips
trace the moment, fall forever.
defense is paper thin,
just one touch and i’d be in too deep now
to ever swim against the current,
so let me slip away
so let me slip away
so let me slip away
so let me slip against the current
so let me slip away
so let me slip away
so let me slip away
so let me slip away…
Vindicated.
I am selfish,
I am wrong,
I am right, I swear I’m right
I swear I knew it all along
and I am flawed
but I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now
the things you swore you saw yourself.
Like hope
dangles on a string,
like slow spinning redemption.
