[Verse 1]
Found you in a novel
Pressed in blue and thin
Between a map of rivers
And a cracked old hymn
Your name wore off the paper
Mine was still in view
Two hearts in curly pencil
Hiding in the glue
[Pre-Chorus]
I laughed and then I froze
At that careful little bow
We were all soft hands
And brave enough somehow
[Chorus]
Pressed in blue
Pressed in blue
We were young and unafraid
Pressed in blue
Pressed in blue
You were the kiss I never saved
(Pressed in blue)
(Pressed in blue)
[Verse 2]
Summer on your porch steps
Strawberry stain on lips
Your bike left in the nettles
My fingers on your wrist
We swore in tiny voices
No one else could know
Then the school bell split the daylight
And we learned to let things go
[Pre-Chorus]
Now your words are rising
Like moths in the sun
And every line you left me
Feels like we’ve begun
[Chorus]
Pressed in blue
Pressed in blue
We were young and unafraid
Pressed in blue
Pressed in blue
You were the kiss I never saved
(Pressed in blue)
(Pressed in blue)
[Bridge]
I trace the ink with my thumb
And time comes back in a rush
Your laugh in the backseat
Your hand in the hush
If I could fold that moment
I’d tuck it in my sleeve
For every door that closes
And every dream that leaves
[Final Chorus]
Pressed in blue
Pressed in blue
We were young and unafraid
Pressed in blue
Pressed in blue
You were the kiss I never saved
Pressed in blue
Pressed in blue
Still sweet inside the page
(Pressed in blue)
(Pressed in blue)
