Manchester Orchestra - Top Notch

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1980664
Verse 1
There's two twin deaf kids and they've got to make
An ungodly decision
They decide which one gets to leave this place
And which one will forsake it to make it

Verse 2
So, the first kid says in this temporal tone
I don't think there's a way to resolve it
We should wrap both these towels around our blistering bones
And wait it out in the closet
His brother looks him up and down
And prophesized how all of it should end
He says, "We're buried underneath the yard
And no one ever listens or visits"

Chorus
All that I know is no way to fix it
All that I know is no way to fix it
All that I know is no way to fix it
All that I know is no way to fix it

Verse 3
(Give up)
It didn't really matter how it happened in the end
'Cause when it happened you reacted with an apathetic wince
So, you try to wash it out but that's a stain that won't dissolve
And we all believed in ghosts until you walked into the wall
See Manchester Orchestra LiveGet tickets as low as $74 Bridge
So give up
So give up
So give up
So give up

Chorus
All that I know is no way to fix it (Give up)
All that I know is no way to fix it (So give up)
All that I know is no way to fix it (Give up)
All that I know is no way to fix it (Give up)
