The Districts – Piano Song lyrics

It’s gone far for my reaches
But I’m accustomed to it by now
And that’s what I’m afraid of

I used to read your letters
And sit down and wonder
Wondering what it was you left out
And that’s what I’m afraid of

If you had been my scare
Days and nights
Out, in, and all
That’s what I’m afraid of

Aw it’s theft short of glimmers
Fast glimpses gas of feeling scared to falter
‘cuz it’s so hard to fill my lungs so quick
To last me underwater

[Pre-Chorus]
And that’s what I’m afraid of
And that’s it, I’m afraid
And that’s what I’m afraid of
That’s it, I’m scared
Scared without you
I just can’t have you

[Chorus]
Well if you got a handle and
Won’t you come into the bone again?
Why don’t you tear my heart open just so you can see?

I’ve gone on and I’ve seen it
I’m used to it by now!
And my [?] these shudders
Just like the rolling thunder

Seems just like another
Thought maybe before
Rumbles through my head just like the rush of water

I count my blessings trying to fall asleep
Believe the dark can’t see [?] this [light/life]
I don’t know where we’re going

[Pre-Chorus]
That’s what I’m afraid of
That’s it, I’m afraid
That’s what I’m afraid of
That’s it, I’m scared
Scared without you
I just can’t have you

[Chorus]
See, if you got a handle and
Won’t you come into the bone again?
Why don’t you tear my heart open just so you can see?

But I don’t want you to know
That I don’t want you to go

And I don’t need you, you know
We could be farther from the truth

[That’s what I’m afraid of
That’s it, I’m afraid
That’s what I’m afraid of
That’s it, I’m scared]x2

[That’s what I’m afraid of
That’s it, I’m afraid
That’s what I’m afraid of
That’s it, I’m scared] x2
[I’m dropping you, sinking, and running out of time] x6

[Chorus]
If you got a handle and
Won’t you come into the bone again?
Why don’t you tear my heart open just so you can see?
