I Stand Corrected Lyrics

Lyric discussion by OCL 

Cover art for I Stand Corrected lyrics by Vampire Weekend

couldn't it be like when you like someone, and you have to stand everything he/she does... even bad things. But you don't want to lose him/her, that's why you "stand corrected"... you act like nothing happends.... you try to show your best and you keep you emotions inside...

i love the end of the song when he finally says Forget the protocol I'll take your hand Right in mine

i think it's like saying: i'm done with pretending... i dunnooo, like, getting it off his chest?
