Vindicated - Dashboard Confessional

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, 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.

Over sized 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, 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 finger tips

Trace the moment fall forever.

Defense is paper thin.

Just one touch and I'll 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, 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.

Slight hope dangles on a string

Like slow spinning redemption
