Alvvays is a dreampop band formed in Toronto, Canada in 2011.
Reverb-drenched and bittersweet, Alvvays members Molly Rankin and Kerri MacLellan were childhood friends, who began playing music with Alec O'Hanley while in high school. Lead vocalist Molly Rankin is the daughter of John Morris Rankin from the popular Canadian folk family group the Rankin Family. Molly Rankin released a solo EP titled "She EP" in 2010 and then in 2011 formed Alvvays with MacLellan, O'Hanley, and new members Brian Murphy and Phil MacIsaac.

[Verse] A Pecking order's got you wasting time AF#mD Time at the border and you're way behind A Fill a honda with your property AF#mDAF#mDA Am I falling, I'm falling in line A If a violet should wither and die AF#mDA You're picking petals trying to decide my pain your gain AF#mDAF#mD I'm falling, I'm falling in line
[Chorus] DEA And your brain still bows to your racing heart DEA And your brain's devout to your racing heart DEA And your brain devours your racing heart DEA If you strain, it makes things hard
[Verse] A Pecking order's got you wasting time AF#mDA Discrepancy you're pulled aside, don't mock the bureaucracy AF#mDAF#mDA I'm falling, I'm falling in line A Convey that you've lost your mind AF#mD The obligatory one-four-five A Clenched fist blacklist, zig-zags trunk sags You're flagged for life
[Bridge] F#mC#mE x3 A F#mC#mBm Surrounded and you get overwhelmed F#mC#mBm You're drowning and everyone can tell
[Chorus] F#mC#mBm And your brain bows to your racing heart DEA And your brain's devout to your racing heart DEA And your brain's devoured by your racing heart DEA And your brain's devout to your racing heart DEA And your brain's devout to your racing heart DEA And your brain's devout to your racing heart DEA And your brain bows to your racing heart
