Drella Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're busy drawing hearts
You run your fingers down the glass
An open mirror
Now you're sleeping in the front seat
Like a crushed leaf on the concrete night
(Murder ring) What are you talking about?
(Murder ring) And how did you get into my house?
I think you buried me too deep

[Pre-Chorus]
You had your way
You almost seem alone

[Chorus]
But I've been driving you around
I didn't think it could have lasted
Now we broke another bracelet
Tore it off your wrist tonight
(Tonight, the center of the sun will separate in sparks!)
(They're climbing up the sky and down the dark!)

[Verse 2]
Do you think you'd better love me back?
You said you want someone who actually cares
But I'll say what I want because nobody's around when I talk
It feels better to fall asleep alone ('Cause that's the only way I know)

Get tickets as low as $90

[Chorus]
But I've been driving you around
I didn't think it could have lasted
Now we broke another bracelet
Tore it off your wrist tonight
And now that Cinderella's gone, she swallowed up the sun
A middle-class explosion could be nice if we're the dynamite

[Bridge]
(Let us prey)
Don't you miss me
Or the night we snuck out your window? Oh
Because, baby, baby, you're so crazy now
Looks like I'm not the only one now
And I can finally see the light
Oh, there's a million stars tonight
A single one could save my life
Red water leaves us as we collide
(Drella, Drella!) red water leaves us and I just drive

About

This song bio is unreviewed

The song “Drella” is about the death/near death experience of a girl Vic was, and still is seeing. She cut herself on a broken window and in the process of bleeding out, became scared and seemingly forgot her relationship with Vic, who (as detailed later in the song) drove her to the hospital and attempted to jog her memory. The song is meant not only as a gift, but a way to further “wake her up”. It is the ninth song on Pierce the Veils first album, A Flair for the Dramatic.
