★ 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
