Forever And One (Neverland)
Lyrics:
[English]
What can I do?
Will I be getting through?
Now that I must try
To leave it all behind
Did you see
What you have done to me?
So hard to justify
Slowly it's passing by
Forever and one
I will miss you
However, I kiss you
Yet again
Way down in Neverland
...
So hard I was trying
Tomorrow I'll still be crying
How could you hide
Your lies
Your lies
Here I am
Seeing you once again
My mind's so far away
My heart's so close to stay
Too proud to fight
I'm walking back into night
Will I ever find
Someone to believe?
Forever and one
I will miss you
However, I kiss you
Yet again
Way down in Neverland
So hard I was trying
Tomorrow I'll still be crying
How could you hide
Your lies
Your lies
...
Forever and one
I will miss you
However, I kiss you
Yet again
Way down in Neverland
So hard I was trying
Tomorrow I'll still be crying
How could you hide
Your lies
Your lies
Your lies
...

Grammar:
-
What *can* I do?
➔ Modal Verb Inversion in Questions
➔ The modal verb "can" comes before the subject "I" to form a question. This is typical for questions using modal verbs in English. The standard word order would be 'I can do what?', which is grammatically correct but does not form a question without a rising intonation or being part of an indirect question.
-
Will I be *getting* through?
➔ Future Continuous Tense
➔ The phrase "will be getting" represents the future continuous tense. It expresses an action that will be in progress at a specific time in the future. Here, the speaker is wondering if they will be in the process of succeeding or overcoming a challenge.
-
Now that I *must* try...
➔ Modal Verb of Obligation
➔ The modal verb "must" indicates a strong obligation or necessity. The speaker feels a strong internal pressure to try.
-
Did you *see* what you have done to me?
➔ Past Simple and Present Perfect Tenses
➔ "Did you see" is in the past simple, asking if the person witnessed the consequences of their actions at some point. "What you *have* done" is in the present perfect, indicating the action's impact continues into the present. The speaker is emphasizing the lasting effects of the other person's actions.
-
So hard I *was trying*
➔ Inversion for Emphasis (Adverbial Phrase)
➔ The typical word order would be "I was trying so hard." Inverting it to "So hard I was trying" places emphasis on the *degree* of effort. This inversion is used for stylistic effect to add emotional weight.
-
Tomorrow I'll still be *crying*
➔ Future Continuous Tense
➔ "I'll be crying" is the future continuous tense, expressing an action that will be in progress at a specific time in the future (tomorrow). The addition of "still" emphasizes the persistence of this action.
-
How *could* you hide your lies?
➔ Modal Verb of Ability/Possibility (Past)
➔ The modal verb "could" expresses past ability or possibility. Here, it's used rhetorically to express disbelief or shock at the other person's capacity to conceal their lies. It implies a moral judgment.
-
Too *proud* to fight
➔ Adjective + Infinitive of Purpose
➔ The structure "too + adjective + to + infinitive" indicates an inability to do something because of the intensity of the adjective. Here, the speaker is "too proud" which results in the inability "to fight".
