"Pressed" lyrics - ALVVAYS
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?
[Chorus:]
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"
[Chorus:]
Not long ago, you held me
On the banks of rolling isles
Not long ago, our middlebrow
Status quo rituals sufficed
[Post-Chorus:]
In a whirlwind spin around
In a whirlwind spin around
[Outro:]
I waver in the night, toss, turn eleven times
And I won't apologize for something I'm not sorry for
Mind racing overtime, turns out all my friends were right
And I won't apologize for something I'm not sorry for
This cocktail is overpriced, I'll do my best to keep things light
But I won't apologize for something I'm not sorry for
Lay barren, eulogize holy water, lemon rind
And I won't apologize for something I'm not sorry for
