The Shins - Pressed In A Book Lyrics

Send "Pressed In A Book" ringtones to your cell

doted on like seeds planted in a row 
the untied shoelaces of your life 
nurtured all year then pressed in a book 
or displayed in bad taste at the table 
problems arise and you fan the fire 
while there's a wild pack of dogs loose in your house tonight 
cut from bad cloth or soiled like bad socks 
add it up and basically people never change 

they just talk and make plans in the dark 
or make haste with ideas that can't help 
but creep good people out 
as you talk to me too much you're assuming 
we don't always want what's right 

did i strike the right set of chords? you're annoyed 
the goal is to ignite you then move on 
you feel ill at ease. you got no squeeze 
and the wise cracks won't make you more stable 
you've learned your lines to scale and to time 
why must i remind you know i'm only less able 
cut from bad cloth or soiled like socks 
we're ordinary people we can't help but to change 

as we walk and make plans in the dark 
or make haste with the boy who can't help 
but creep good people out 
as you talk to me too much you're assuming 
we don't always want what's right
