[English]

Azizam (get up, get up)

Meet me on the floor tonight (get up, get up, get up)

Show me how to move like the water (get up, get up)

In between the dancin' lights (get up)

Be mine (get up), be mine (get up)

Azizam

I wanna be nowhere but here with you now

I wanna be one in the space

I wanna be tangled and wrapped in your cloud

I wanna be close to your face

Well, tomorrow can wait, freezin' time in this place

'Til the sun is awake, be like a magnet on me

I don't care what they say, we can do it our way

And if love's just a game, then come and play

Azizam (get up, get up)

Meet me on the floor tonight (get up, get up, get up)

Show me how to move like the water (get up, get up)

In between the dancin' lights (get up)

Be mine (get up), be mine (get up)

Azizam

...

Azizam

Azizam

I wanna get lost in your ocean and drown

I wanna be careless and free

I wanna live here in the moment we found

I wanna be all that you see

Well, tomorrow can wait, freezin' time in this place

'Til the sun is awake, be like a magnet on me

I don't care what they say, we can do it our way

And if love's just a game, then come and play

Azizam (get up, get up)

Meet me on the floor tonight (get up, get up, get up)

Show me how to move like the water (get up, get up)

In between the dancin' lights (get up)

Be mine (get up), be mine (get up)

Azizam (get up, get up)

Meet me on the floor tonight (get up, get up, get up)

Show me how to move like the water (get up, get up)

In between the dancin' lights (get up)

Be mine (get up), be mine (get up)

Azizam (get up, get up)

...

Azizam (get up, get up)

(Get up, get up)

(Get up, get up)

(Get up, get up)

Azizam

Key Grammar Structures

• Meet me on the floor tonight

  ➔ Imperative mood

  ➔ This sentence uses the imperative mood to issue a direct command or request. The verb "Meet" is in its base form and there is no subject, implying the subject is 'you'.

• Show me how to move like the water

  ➔ Infinitive clause after question word 'how'

  ➔ This sentence uses an infinitive clause "how to move" after the verb "Show" to describe the manner in which something should be done. "How" introduces the infinitive clause.

• I wanna be nowhere but here with you now

  ➔ "Nowhere but" structure

  ➔ The phrase "nowhere but here" indicates that the speaker desires to be only in one place - 'here' with the person they are addressing. It emphasizes the speaker's strong preference.

• Well, tomorrow can wait, freezin' time in this place

  ➔ Non-finite clause with reduced relative clause, abbreviated present participle.

  ➔ "Freezin' time" is a shortened form of "freezing time", which is a non-finite clause acting as a reduced relative clause. The full sentence would be something like "Tomorrow can wait, [while we are] freezing time in this place."

• And if love's just a game, then come and play

  ➔ Conditional sentence (Type 1/Real conditional)

  ➔ This is a type 1 conditional sentence. The "if" clause (if love's just a game) expresses a possible or likely condition. The main clause (then come and play) expresses the likely result if the condition is met.

• I wanna get lost in your ocean and drown

  ➔ Parallel structure with infinitive verbs

  ➔ The phrase "I wanna get lost... and drown" demonstrates parallel structure. "get lost" and "drown" are both infinitive verbs connected by "and". This creates a sense of balance and emphasizes the speaker's desires.

• I wanna be all that you see

  ➔ Noun clause as object of the verb 'be'

  ➔ The clause "all that you see" acts as a noun clause and functions as the complement of the verb "be". It specifies what the subject (I) wants to be.
