lyrics

If I squint real hard I can see the physique of a welterweight
Sometimes I squint so hard that my eyes close
I try to trick my mind (with your memory as bait)
And it starts to believe as my deceit grows
That stronger arms could have held you
It seems so simple as revisions ensue

I scream with fingers and thumbs at the screen in front of me
Sometimes I type so hard that my vowels crack
As locations blur and dates are lost at sea
I hide so many truths that I lose track
I trimmed your chapter to a sentence or two
I seduce history as revisions ensue

I take a knife to my past as I rifle through it
I’ve spent a fortune on white correction fluid
Still, my flaws can be detected by a trained physician
Some things just can’t be buried deep inside a new edition

I’m conceding the fight against public opinion
I guess those men in the mirror are the real me’s
I’ve been peddling a war that I never had faith in,
And missed chances with you, are just a cruel tease
But I could change the ending or craft a new you
The world’s wide open as revisions ensue
