Lyrics
I got a blind spot that don’t keep me up at night ‘cause I don’t it’s there
Might be a dozen times a day I hurt someone, while I’m unaware
I try to grasp, hold it fast, but I can’t see what I don’t know is there
Blind spots, I have all these blind spots
Some blindness sets you free, but that’s no way to be
I’d trade ‘em all to see, I’ll tell you what, these blind spots
Your old lover’s blind spot was bigger than the world, he couldn’t see your heart
He had a shriveled sense of wonder, and did not know you were a work of art
It took a while to reconcile that it was time to go so you got smart
Blind spot, you were in his blind spot
Since he couldn’t see, instead you married me
Every day I’m glad, I’ll tell you what, for that blind spot
What if when we met we saw clearly
All our flaws could we have loved as dearly, not really
You have a blind spot when it comes to all my faults, maybe you just don’t care
I’ve made enough mistakes to fill a goddamn vault, you gotta be aware
So if it’s true, you love me too, well that just proves the same thing’s wrong with you
Blind spot, we have the same blind spot
Of course it makes no sense, but in our own defense
I’m really kind of glad, I’ll tell you what, for this blind spot
