Vindicated by Dashboard Confessional

"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..."

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

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 fingertips

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

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

Nobody Told Me by John Lennon

"Nobody told me there'd be days like these..."

Everybody's talking and no one says a word

Everybody's making love and no one really cares

There's Nazis in the bathroom just below the stairs

Always something happening and nothing going on

There's always something cooking and nothing in the pot

They're starving back in China so finish what you got

Nobody told me there'd be days like these

Nobody told me there'd be days like these

Nobody told me there'd be days like these

Strange days indeed -- strange days indeed

Everybody's runnin' and no one makes a move

Everyone's a winner and nothing left to lose

There's a little yellow idol to the north of Katmandu

Everybody's flying and no one leaves the ground

Everybody's crying and no one makes a sound

There's a place for us in the movies you just gotta lay around

Nobody told me there'd be days like these

Nobody told me there'd be days like these

Nobody told me there'd be days like these

Strange days indeed -- most peculiar, mama

Everybody's smoking and no one's getting high

Everybody's flying and never touch the sky

There's a UFO over New York and I ain't too surprised

Nobody told me there'd be days like these

Nobody told me there'd be days like these

Nobody told me there'd be days like these

Strange days indeed -- most peculiar, mama
