6AM Songtext
von The Districts

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
And you were skipping stones and I was still alone
When I turned off the light, scribbling onto sticky notes
I′m scared and that's the best that I can say

I work a job to pay the debt I owe my family
Pay it back for that one time I pushed your chin
As all this hope I hold just buries its evil in me out of sight
But it slips through a hole in my side
I've seen another of me in you


So we′ll climb in that Buick 222
And I′ll close my eyes
The sun goes down each time I see the light
I swear it's true
And I′ve bowed this town 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
And you were skipping stones and I was still alone
When I turned off the light, scribbling onto sticky notes
I′m 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
All we are is all we are and still I will become
All I am and all I thought I can't recall because
All we are is all we are and still I will become
All I am and all I thought I can't recall because
All we are is all we are and still I will become
All I am and all I thought I can′t recall because
All we are is all we are and still I will become
All I am and all I thought I can′t recall because
All we are is all we are and still I will become
All I am and all I thought I can't recall because

And oh you whispered quiet, making friends beneath the scenery
Of a sun cracked open sky beneath the dark lids of your eyes
And you were skipping stones and I was still alone
When I turned off the light, scribbling onto sticky notes
I′m 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
