The Revisionist Lyrics - Lawrence Arms

the sway and swell 

flee with her motion 

red-gold across my arms 

the vicious strokes i painted 

a river fills your heart 

i'm sorry if i let you down 

i know just how you feel tonight 

this is never what you wanted 

i was searching for myself 

in other people's eyes 

the mirror's telling half truths 

the stollen words finally feel like mine 

swollen and sweating (sweating) 

off time (off time) 

i can see it in your eyes 

an ocean floods my heart 

i'm sorry that i let you down 

you know just how i feel tonight 

this is everything i wanted 

you've been searching for yourself 

in other people's eyes 

the revisionist 

never gets it perfect 

never gets it perfect 

the revisionist 

never gets you perfect 

never gets you perfect 

time is never right 

the words are never right
