Lyrics & Translation

[English]

From walking home and talking loads

To seeing shows in evening clothes with you

...

From nervous touch and getting drunk

To staying up and waking up with you

Now we're sleeping on the edge

Holding something we don't need

All this delusion in our heads

Is gonna bring us to our knees

So come on, let it go

Just let it be

Why don't you be you

And I'll be me?

Everything that's broke

Leave it to the breeze

Why don't you be you

And I'll be me?

And I'll be me

...

From throwing clothes across the floor

To teeth and claws and slamming doors at you

If this is all we're living for

Why are we doing it, doing it, doing it anymore?

I used to recognize myself

It's funny how reflections change

When we're becoming something else

I think it's time to walk away

So come on, let it go

Just let it be

Why don't you be you

And I'll be me?

Everything that's broke

Leave it to the breeze

Why don't you be you

And I'll be me

And I'll be me

...

Tryna fit your hand inside of mine

When we know it just don't belong

There's no force on earth

Could make me feel right, no

Tryna push this problem up the hill

When it's just too heavy to hold

Think now is the time to let it slide

So come on, let it go

Just let it be

Why don't you be you

And I'll be me?

Everything that's broke

Leave it to the breeze

Let the ashes fall

Forget about me

Come on, let it go

Just let it be

Why don't you be you

And I'll be me?

And I'll be me

...

Key Grammar Structures

  • From walking home and talking loads

    ➔ Gerunds as subjects/objects of preposition. Preposition + Gerund (walking, talking)

    ➔ The word "From" here is a preposition and "walking" and "talking" are gerunds acting as objects of the preposition.

  • Now we're sleeping on the edge

    ➔ Present continuous for actions happening now/around now. "be" + -ing

    "sleeping" indicates an action currently happening, expressing the current state of the relationship.

  • Holding something we don't need

    ➔ Relative clause with "we don't need" modifying "something".

    ➔ The relative clause "we don't need" provides additional information about the "something" being held.

  • Why don't you be you?

    ➔ Imperative form used as a suggestion/advice. "Why don't you...?" + base form of the verb

    ➔ This is a common phrase to suggest someone should act naturally and authentically, emphasizing individuality.

  • Everything that's broke

    ➔ Reduced relative clause (that is broke). Relative pronoun "that" + "is" are omitted.

    ➔ The full clause would be "Everything that is broke," but it's shortened for smoother flow.

  • Leave it to the breeze

    ➔ Imperative clause. "Leave" + object + prepositional phrase.

    ➔ This is an instruction to abandon broken things to chance, letting them be carried away.

  • To teeth and claws and slamming doors at you

    ➔ Preposition "to" indicating the direction of negative actions, use of nouns (teeth, claws) to express feelings, gerund (slamming) describing an action.

    ➔ The phrase uses strong imagery (teeth, claws, slamming) to depict the deterioration of the relationship, highlighting conflict and aggression.
