  • What does it mean when your arms fall asleep? And
    How do you get rid of hornets before the weekend?
    When did they say we should turn back the clocks?
    Why do they always say everything's for the best
    When everybody knows it's not?

    I don't want to talk because I don't wanna fight
    We always get bogged down in the heavy shit
    You know what it's like

    But I don't wanna leave and I don't wanna hide
    I just don't wanna run into you tonight
    I need to decide what to do with my hands
    Turn you into a spiderweb again
    Something everybody understands

    I don't want to talk because I don't want to fight
    We always get bogged down in the heavy shit
    You know what it's like

    I don't need to be rescued, I just need to be pinned
    God's in the decals and the words on your skin
    Not being in love with you, it isn't easy to fake
    When I don't know if you're ever
    Gonna come back from your cigarette break

    What does it mean when your arms fall asleep? And
    How do you get rid of hornets before the weekend?
    When did they say we should turn back the clocks?
    Why do they always say everything's for the best
    When everybody knows it's not?

    I don't want to talk to you because I don't want to fight
    We always get bogged down in the heavy shit
    You know what it's like

    But I don't wanna leave and I don't wanna hide
    I just don't want to run into you tonight
    I need to decide what to do with my hands
    Turn you into a spiderweb again
    Something everybody understands Writer/s: Aaron Brooking Dessner, Matthew Donald Berninger
