Vindicated Lyrics - 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. 

Photos 

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
