Lawrence Arms The Revisionist Lyrics

The Revisionist Lyrics

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
