Artist: Dashboard Confessional
Song: 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, and so hypnotizing
I am captivated

I am vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong, I am right
I swear I’m right
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 swear 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
Rendered me so
Isolated, I'm so motivated
I am certain now

That I am vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I’m right
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 swear you saw yourself

So turn up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment and 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
I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now
The things you swore you saw yourself

My hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
