Lyrics:

[English]

I've been here before a few times

And I'm quite aware we're dying

And your hands, they shake with goodbyes

And I'll take you back if you'd have me

So here I am, I'm trying

So here I am, are you ready?

Come on let me hold you

Touch you, feel you, always

Kiss you, taste you all night, always

...

And I'll miss your laugh, your smile

I'll admit I'm wrong if you'd tell me

I'm so sick of fights, I hate them

Let's start this again, for real

So here I am, I'm trying

So here I am, are you ready?

So here I am, I'm trying

So here I am, are you ready?

Come on let me hold you

Touch you, feel you, always

Kiss you, taste you, all night, always

Come on let me hold you

Touch you, feel you, always

Kiss you, taste you, all night, always

...

I've been here before a few times

And I'm quite aware we're dying

Come on let me hold you

Touch you, feel you, always

Kiss you, taste you, all night, always

Come on let me hold you

Touch you, feel you, always

Kiss you, taste you, all night, always

...

Always

Grammar:

I've been here before a few times

➔ Present Perfect Tense

➔ Uses the present perfect tense ("I've been") to indicate an experience that has happened at some point in the speaker's life before the present moment. The phrase "a few times" reinforces this repeated experience.
And I'm quite aware we're dying

➔ Present Continuous Tense with future implication

➔ The present continuous tense ("we're dying") is used here to express something that is happening now, but can also imply a future that is already in progress. In this context, it conveys a sense of inevitability and ongoing decay.
And your hands, they shake with goodbyes

➔ Subject-Verb Agreement with added emphasis/style

➔ While simple, it emphasizes "your hands" by repeating the subject. The expected sentence structure would be "Your hands shake with goodbyes." The redundant pronoun 'they' adds a stylistic flair and draws more attention to the trembling hands.
And I'll take you back if you'd have me

➔ Conditional Sentence (Type 2)

➔ This is a Type 2 conditional. The structure is: *If + past simple, would/could/might + base form*. It describes a hypothetical situation in the present or future that is unlikely to happen. "If you'd have me" (if you would have me) expresses the speaker's uncertainty about being accepted back.
Let's start this again, for real

➔ Imperative Sentence (Suggestion/Invitation)

➔ "Let's start..." is an imperative used as a suggestion or invitation, not a command. It suggests a shared action. "For real" adds emphasis to the sincerity of the suggestion.
