"Pressed" lyrics

"Pressed"

Benevolent Collegiate rolled his eyes and walked away
And if you could believe it
His stride is lengthened by his sense of wonder
Oh well, I lost that shine - didn't I?

Not long ago, you held me
On the banks of rolling isles
Not long ago, you read to me
Pedantic poetry and I would smile

And if I could retrace it
I'd match the steps we took
To merely recreate it, lie to myself
"Everyone else don't forget"

Not long ago, you held me
On the banks of rolling isles
Not long ago, our middlebrow
Status quo rituals sufficed

In a whirlwind spin around
In a whirlwind spin around

I waver in the night, toss, turn eleven times
And I won't apologize for something I'm not sorry for
(I won't apologize)
Mind racing over time, turns out all my friends were right (All the time)
And I won't apologize for something I'm not sorry for
(I won't apologize)
This cocktail is overpriced, I'll do my best to keep things light
(I won't apologize)
But I won't apologize for something I'm not sorry for
(I won't apologize)
Lay barren, eulogize holy water, lemon rind
(I won't apologize)
And I won't apologize for something I'm not sorry for
