Dashboard Confessional - Vindicated Lyrics

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 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 
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'd be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away [3x] 
So let me slip against the current 
So let me slip away [4x] 

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
