The Districts are a four-piece indie rock band from the small town of Lititz, Pennsylvania. The group formed in 2009 while members Rob Grote, Mark Larson, Connor Jacobus, and Braden Lawrence were all still in high school. The prolific young band released its first EP, Kitchen Songs, in 2011 followed by Telephone, its debut full-length, the following year. The Districts' second EP, the more acoustic-leaning While You Were in Honesdale, was released in late 2012 and the band continued to perform regionally.

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