Lyrics:
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
