Lyrics
In my dream, I see you there
In a dream, the speaker visualizes your presence.
Your eyes fixed in a vacant stare
Your eyes appear fixed, devoid of expression.
A little laugh, a crooked smile
A small laugh and a crooked smile are observed.
Don't lift a finger while I lay dying
You show indifference or inaction while I am in a dire state.
Bone dry
Describing emotional emptiness or lack of empathy.
You drank all the blood
A metaphorical expression of emotional vampirism.
My heart is bone dry
The speaker's heart is emotionally drained.
Can't give you more 'cause you took all of it (Sha la la)
Unable to provide more emotionally because it has been taken away.
Was a day when I did believe
Reflecting on a past belief in your sincerity.
The things you say are what you mean
Doubt about the truthfulness of your words.
Dear sweet, innocent me
Addressing a version of the speaker that was innocent and trusting.
How much you took from me to finally see
A realization of the extent of what has been taken from the speaker.
Bone dry

You drank all the blood

-What becomes a man like me
Reflecting on the speaker's identity and current state of being.
Drifting off, lost at see
Describing a sense of aimlessness and being lost.
I'll set a fire look up for it
An intention to ignite change or passion in life.
Lookin' for me, I'm a pink sunset
The speaker's presence is compared to a captivating sunset.
Bone dry (sha la la)
