It's 6AM, I'm shivering beneath the bed sheets
The pillowcase fell off last night when I held it in my arms. I read
Short stories, while you twitched in your sleep beside me, your
Breath it fell so heavy, as I sat there in the dark
And oh you whispered quiet, making friends beneath the
Scenery of a sun cracked open sky beneath the dark lids
Of your eyes. You were skipping stones and I was still alone
When I turned off the light, scribbling onto sticky notes
I am scared and that's the best that I can say
I work a job to pay the debt I owe my family, to pay back for
That one time I pushed your chin. All this hope I hold just buries
Its evil in me out of sight, but it slips through a whole
In my side, I've seen another of me and you
So we'll climb in that Buick down 222, and I'll
Close my eyes, the sun goes down each time I see the light
I swear it's true. Because I've bowed down with this crown watching
Old dogs age without whimpering, and I find it hard to say that
I am strong
But I'll be sure with each passing breath to read you
Stories that are glimmering with the light that reflected
Off these marigolds that caught my neck when I hit
The ground
And oh you whispered quiet, making friends beneath the
Scenery of a sun cracked open sky beneath the dark lids
Of your eyes. You were skipping stones and I was still alone
When I turned off the light, scribbling onto sticky notes
I am scared and that's the best that I can say
All we are is all we are and still I will become, all I am and all
I thought I can't recall because (X6)
And oh you whispered quiet, making friends beneath the
Scenery of a sun cracked open sky beneath the dark lids
Of your eyes. You were skipping stones and I was still alone
When I turned off the light, scribbling onto sticky notes
I am scared and that's the best that I can say
I'm still tugging on your hand, like when I was innocent
We used to only lie when we needed sleep

I first heard this song waking up from an attempt to go to sleep one night. I registered that it was The Districts, but it was a song I've never heard before. In my grogginess, of almost sleep I begin to cry, because HOLY SHIT this song calls to my soul. I have a new favorite (move over Layla) Thanks for the beautiful soul music.

[@jamesasker8716]

That's a beautiful story. These guys have the same effect on me.

[@recycleyo9510]

this man is too pure

[@mikejones301]

NME have like adopted these guys its amazing to see them "sticking up for the little guy"

[@amberpeddy2424]

they are such an amazing band.

[@RealHufflepuff]

literally, one of the best songs I've ever heard

[@MexicanCanBreakToo]

I like this version more because it doesn’t have the audio distortion that the album version does

[@SheltinkaBH]

is there a high-quality version of the track available somewhere? i bought the song off bandcamp hoping it won't be distorted but it's horribleeee... it's really a shame because it's such a good song

[@foggyboy8901]

i feel like the distortion adds to the emotions of the song in my opinion

[@valtri28]

such a great song!

[@LivyerLateralus]

I need a music buddy... got no one to share beautiful songs like this. 😵

[@boyceify99]

Love this so much

[@tapestainproductions565]
