You don't wanna talk to me,
You don't wanna say the words,
You try to get off the hook,
You try to get off the hook.
Sprawling on a pin,
Hanging off the hook,
Trying to get yourself away,
Trying to get yourself away.
There's no use dwelling on,
On what might have been,
Just think of all the fun,
You could be having.
We know the way you talk,
We know what you want,
We know what you want,
What you really wanted.
Take a look around,
There's candles on the cake,
On what might have been,
The road you should have took,
Mistakes mistaken
There's no use dwelling on,
No use dwelling on.
It's such a beautiful day,
It's such a beautiful day,
Find yourself a ????,
Go and get some rest.
It's such a beautiful day.
It's such a beautiful day.
Go up to the mic,
Go up to the mic,
Go and get some rest.
You don't wanna say the words,
You try to get off the hook,
You try to get off the hook.
Sprawling on a pin,
Hanging off the hook,
Trying to get yourself away,
Trying to get yourself away.
There's no use dwelling on,
On what might have been,
Just think of all the fun,
You could be having.
We know the way you talk,
We know what you want,
We know what you want,
What you really wanted.
Take a look around,
There's candles on the cake,
On what might have been,
The road you should have took,
Mistakes mistaken
There's no use dwelling on,
No use dwelling on.
It's such a beautiful day,
It's such a beautiful day,
Find yourself a ????,
Go and get some rest.
It's such a beautiful day.
It's such a beautiful day.
Go up to the mic,
Go up to the mic,
Go and get some rest.

When I'm happy, this song makes me sad.
[There's no use dwelling on, on what might have been...]
All I know is, when I listen to it while I'm happy, every note uplifts me, makes me feel that much happier. When I listen to it while I'm upset, every note stabs me right in the heart.
I feel Yorke and Co. try to emphasize the point in that it is impossible to evade all of these circumstances, but you have to enjoy life as it is presented to you.
There's no use dwelling on On what might have been Just think of all the fun You could be having". He then thinks about the remorse he would have later in life if he doesn't continue "Candles on the cake of what might have been". Thus he tells himself to get the courage, and thus its a wonderful day "It's such a beautiful day Go and get some wings". Anyway, thats how I viewed it. Its a wonderful, cathartic song either way.
also, the last few lines should be:
"go up to the mic,
go up to the mic,
and go and get some wings."
with the last few lines being changed like that, i think it's fair to say this song might actually be about thom trying to get over depression or something bad that happened to him. he's telling himself to go up to the mic to speak his mind, or to sing to free himself and that's how he gets wings.
it could also just be him telling the "worrywort," the one being spoken to in the song, to go speak his mind rather than keep silent. after all, it starts by saying that the "worrywort" doesn't really talk to the speaker.
