Stay Open Songtext
von The Districts

The footsteps through the hollow sound
Like the wind that blew through south, cold
And I had to look down, fear that something
Beneath the whole me, give out any time
We all drifted out from these shores
Finding photographs and love letters and bottles battered worn
Shallow salt water′s singing sore
You made up your mind

Friends, they were shopping next door
Spending money on things that they couldn't afford
The tide pulls too deep for meager oars
Standing still, stare at the changing tide

Stay open, stay open
To catch my fall
What a shame that I would splinter you
Or hinder you at all
Won′t give my love for free, won't give my love for free
Oh, but please, take it from me


Trying to share my bitter rhyme
But outside from your jokes. we'll have to die cold
It′s a long drive in my thoughts
Dance slow behind
Like to show me that you dried in the sand
Your favorite book with no pages, I′m the shell of a man
Fumbling with two sets of keys, but I'm setting ′em down

Your words sown onto my skin
Like the wind from the north of your hair
Asphalt it buried dead plants, choked dying plants
Asphalt it buried dead plants, choked dying plants

Stay open, stay open
To catch my fall
What a shame that I would splinter you
Or hinder you at all
Won't give my love for free, won′t give my love for free
Oh, but please, take it from me

No, my God, think I'm falling to pieces
No, my God, this is falling apart
No, my God, think I′m turning it over
No, my God, this is out of my hands


Stay open, stay open (Oh my god, falling to pieces)
To catch my fall
What a shame that I would splinter you (Oh my god, falling apart)
Or hinder you at all
Won't give my love for free (Oh my god, turning it over)
Won't give my love for free
Oh but please, take it from me
