[English]

Oh (you and me)

Oh (hahaha)

...

(Check it out now)

(Hahaha, mm)

(Dracula)

(Ba-da-bing, ba-da-boom)

(Dracula)

The mornin' light is turnin' blue, the feelin' is bizarre (bizarre)

The night is almost over, I still don't know where you are

The shadows, yeah, they keep me pretty like a movie star

Daylight makes me feel like Dracula (Dracula)

In the end, I hope it's you and me (you and me)

In the darkness, I would never leave (never leave)

You won't ever see me in the light of day

It's far too late, the time has come

I'm on the verge of cavin' in, I run back to the dark (dark)

Now I'm Mr. Charisma, fuckin' Pablo Escobar

My friends are sayin', "Shut up, Jennie, just get in the car" (hahaha, Jennie)

I just wanna be right where you are (oh, my love)

In the end, I hope it's you and me (you and me)

In the darkness, I would never leave (never leave, I won't leave her)

We both saw this moment comin' from afar (comin' from afar)

Now here we are (here we are)

Run from the sunlight, Dracula

Run from the sunlight, Dracula

Run from the sunlight, Dracula (run from the sun)

Isn't the view spectacular? (Dracula, Dracula)

Hey, Kevin, what's up? (Haha)

Come pull up in my spot

Let's keep the night glowin'

I don't ever wanna stop (hahaha)

I'll never leave this floor, got me needin' more (oh)

Sky is turnin' blue, let it clear the smoke

Lip stain on the rim, bass is 'bout to blow (oh)

Sinkin' in my teeth, I buy time

But please, do you think about what it might mean? (Mean)

'Cause I dream about you in my sleep

Would you ever love someone like me (someone like me)

Like me? (Oh)

In the end, I hope it's you and me (oh, my love)

In the darkness, I would never leave

We both saw this moment comin' from afar (comin' from afar)

Now here we are (here we are)

So run from the sunlight, Dracula

So run from the sunlight, Dracula

Run from the sunlight, Dracula

Isn't the view spectacular?

So run from the sunlight, Dracula

Run from the sunlight, Dracula

Isn't the view spectacular? (Run from the sunlight, Dracula)

Run from the sunlight, Dracula (run from the sunlight, Dracula)

Run from the sunlight, Dracula (run from the sunlight, Dracula)

Isn't the view spectacular?

Key Grammar Structures

• The mornin' light is turnin' blue, the feelin' is bizarre (bizarre)

  ➔ Present continuous tense, Adjective order

  ➔ The phrase "is turnin'" uses the present continuous to describe an action happening *now*. The adjective 'bizarre' follows the noun 'feelin'' as a descriptive element. The use of slang 'turnin'' is also notable.

• Daylight makes me feel like Dracula (Dracula)

  ➔ Subject-verb-object, Simile, Appositive

  ➔ This sentence uses a simple subject-verb-object structure. The phrase "like Dracula" is a **simile**, comparing the feeling to that of Dracula. The repetition of "(Dracula)" acts as an **appositive**, further emphasizing the comparison.

• My friends are sayin', "Shut up, Jennie, just get in the car" (hahaha, Jennie)

  ➔ Reported speech, Imperative, Direct address

  ➔ This line demonstrates **reported speech** – the friends aren't directly saying this to Jennie, but the narrator is reporting what they said. The phrase "Shut up..." is an **imperative** (a command). "Jennie" is used in **direct address**.

• Would you ever love someone like me (someone like me)?

  ➔ Conditional sentence (second conditional), Tag question

  ➔ This is a **second conditional** sentence, expressing an unlikely situation. The structure is "Would + subject + verb..." The **tag question** "(someone like me)?" seeks confirmation or invites a response.
