Lyrics & Translation

[English]

At first I didn't get you

Too contradicted to figure out

I didn't expect to want

All the things I could live without

I wouldn't do it for anyone, you should know that

But since I loved you since 21, you should know that

When the wild comes calling on you, help is on the way

When the high gets horny for you, help is on the way

On the way, help is on the way

When your heart don't bleed the way it used to, help is on the way

Help is on the way

Help is on the way

Help is on the way

At first I didn't see through, all noise that I could care less about

I didn't expect to want all the things I could live without

I wouldn't do it for anyone, you should know that

But since I loved you since 21, you should know that

When the wild comes calling on you, help is on the way

When the high gets horny for you, help is on the way

On the way, help is on the way

When your heart don't bleed the way it used to, help is on the way

Help is on the way

Help is on the way

Help is on the way

Key Grammar Structures

• At first I didn't get you

  ➔ Past simple negative with auxiliary 'did not' + base verb

  ➔ The phrase uses 'didn't get' to express a negative action in the past, where 'did' is the auxiliary and 'get' remains in its base form.

• Too contradicted to figure out

  ➔ Use of adjective form 'contradicted' with an infinitive phrase expressing purpose or result

  ➔ 'Too' intensifies the adjective 'contradicted', followed by 'to figure out' indicating a purpose or consequence.

• I wouldn't do it for anyone, you should know that

  ➔ Use of conditional modal 'wouldn't' to express unwillingness or hypothetical situation

  ➔ 'Wouldn't' is a contraction of 'would not' used here to express the speaker's refusal or hypothetical scenario about doing something.

• But since I loved you since 21, you should know that

  ➔ Use of 'since' as a conjunction indicating time and modal 'should' for advice or expectation

  ➔ 'Since' introduces a time starting point, while 'should know' expresses a strong recommendation or expectation.

• When the wild comes calling on you, help is on the way

  ➔ Use of time conjunction 'when' + present simple tense to indicate future conditional time

  ➔ 'When' introduces a time clause referring to a future situation, with present simple tense used to indicate real future conditional time.

• When your heart don't bleed the way it used to, help is on the way

  ➔ Incorrect subject-verb agreement with 'don't' instead of 'doesn't' in present simple third person singular

  ➔ The line uses 'don't' with the singular subject 'heart', which should be 'doesn't' for correct agreement in present simple tense.

• I didn't expect to want all the things I could live without

  ➔ Use of past simple negative 'didn't' with infinitive 'to want' and modal 'could' for past ability or possibility

  ➔ 'Didn't expect' expresses a negative past action, 'to want' is an infinitive showing purpose, and 'could live without' indicates past ability or hypothetical situation.
