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 spinnin' 'round
In a whirlwind spinnin' 'round
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 overtime
Turns out all my friends were right
And I won't apologize
For something I'm not sorry for (I won't apologize)
This cocktail is over priced
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
