The Revisionist — текст песни (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
