Rattling of the Heart Songtext
von The Districts

Want it to rain in the morning
Stay inside until the afternoon
I got your coins on my eyelids
In two more I could show to you

But it′s just me
It's all I can give to you
Some people wait for forgiveness
Some people won′t come to terms with this

Half-told jokes interrupted by the sound of branches breaking
The wind rattles your heart around, babe
Stretch your limbs and do your back bends
Stood in debt on a broken bike you were out with them drinking Citywides
I was on my bed alone sifting through trash to sell to make rent

If you listen to the rattling of the heart now
That pumps the life into the veins I know
Together we are
Together we all
Bend out of shape


The kids keep dancing
They were cute in irony
If I can get to the grit of all this
Maybe I can live gratefully

Lost two grandfathers in six months
They don't leave my head much
Suicide won the vital signs
I watch him try to wake up

If you listen to the rattling of the heart now
That pumps the life into the veins I know
Together we are
Together we all
Bend out of shape

Some find joy wielding proof of their sadness
Have you yet found a master?
Tried god for the commonly o'er-written access
To knowledge and wit therapy trials
To provide a distraction
Medications being tested where
It might work the fastest
Sedating the tragic smiling blank faces in monochromatic
Baby there will be no more violent greetings


If you listen to the rattling of the heart now
That pumps the life into the veins I know
Together we are
Together we all
Bend out of shape

If you listen to the rattling of the heart now
That pumps the life into the veins I know
Together we are
Together we all
Bend out of shape
