Key Grammar Structures

• Does it make sense to discover

  ➔ It makes sense to + infinitive construction

  ➔ The phrase "Does it make sense to discover" asks if discovering something is logical or reasonable. "make sense to + verb" is a common idiom to inquire about the sensibility of an action.

• If you don't believe in something Besides fear of discomfort

  ➔ Conditional sentence (Type 0/1) with 'besides' as a preposition

  ➔ The sentence uses a conditional structure ("If you don't believe...") to present a hypothetical situation, and "besides" means 'apart from' or 'in addition to' the fear of discomfort.

• Can anybody know what is wrong or right

  ➔ Embedded question (noun clause)

  ➔ The phrase "what is wrong or right" acts as a noun clause, functioning as the object of the verb "know". It's an embedded question, meaning a question asked indirectly within another sentence.

• It's the trip that gets us higher into the night

  ➔ Cleft sentence ("It is... that...")

  ➔ This is a cleft sentence, used to emphasize a particular part of the sentence. Here, "It's the trip that..." emphasizes that 'the trip' is the specific thing causing them to go higher, not something else.

• Not a day goes by that I don't know

  ➔ Fixed expression / Idiomatic phrase "Not a day goes by that..."

• And hold you in the farthest place that you run

• Don't have to be the lover that you became

  ➔ Modal expression "don't have to" (lack of obligation) + Relative clause

• That's ever gonna hurt worse than honesty

  ➔ Comparative structure ("worse than")

  ➔ "worse than" is a comparative structure used to compare the degree of 'hurt' caused by something to 'honesty'. It implies that nothing will cause more hurt than honesty.

• So hold me tight as time goes by
