related to previous: song in my head

[waider]

I haven't done this in a while, but: I caught a snippet of a song on something on TV, probably an episode of Scrubs, and rather liking the music I hit up Google and iTunes to see if I could find it. Behold, Dashboard Confessional's Stolen from the Dusk and Summer album. A quick check on RIAA Radar revealed them to be non-RIAA, so I picked up the album on Amazon - unknowningly picking up the extended version which includes a song from the Spider-Man 3 soundtrack titled Vindicated. Which is what's stuck in my head, mainly for the way the verse gives way to the chorus.

Hope dangles on a string

Like slow spinning redemption

Winding in and winding out

The shine of which has caught my eye


And roped me in

So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing 
I am captivated



(Chorus)
I am Vindicated

I am selfish

I am wrong

I am right

I swear I'm right

I 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 intentions

Oversized and overwhelmed

The shine of which has caught my eye

And rendered me so isoloated, so motivated

I am certain now that



(Chorus)



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 and let me slip away



(Chorus)



Slight hope

It dangles on a string

Like slow spinning redemption...


Oh yeah. Stolen is pretty good, too, but not sticking in my head quite so much.
