Pressed Lyrics By Alvvays

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
And if I could retrace it
I’d match the steps we took
To merely recreate it, lie to myself
“Evеryone else don’t forgеt”

[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
(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
