Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I remember when you used to hold my hand

Now you actin' like a ghost, girl

Live forever with a smile stuck on your face

You think he know you, but I know you the most, girl

You will never find another one just like me

Long nights gettin' high on the coast, girl

Two weeks and I still got the same old jeans on

Never got a girl when I need one

I see your face when I look out the window

I think about her every time that I sniff blow

If you love me, hit me up on the flip phone

I'm dyin', I don't think that my bitch know

I don't think that my bitch know

I'm dyin', I don't think that my bitch know

I'm dyin', I don't think that my bitch know

I'm dyin', yeah, yeah

I remember when you used to hold my hand

Now you actin' like a ghost, girl

Live forever with a smile stuck on your face

You think he know you, but I know you the most, girl

You will never find another one just like me

Long nights gettin' high on the coast, girl

Two weeks and I got same old jeans on

Never got a girl when I need one

I see your face when I look at the window

I think about her every time that I sniff blow

If you love me hit me up on the flip phone

I'm dyin' I don't think that my bitch know

I don't think that my bitch know

I'm dyin', I don't think that my bitch know

I'm dyin', I don't think that my bitch know

I'm dyin', yeah, yeah

Key Grammar Structures

• I remember when you used to hold my hand

  ➔ Past simple + used to for past habits

  ➔ "Used to" expresses a past habit or state that no longer exists. In "you used to hold my hand", it shows an action that happened regularly in the past but doesn't happen now.

• Now you actin' like a ghost, girl

  ➔ Present continuous (colloquial form without auxiliary)

  ➔ In colloquial English, the auxiliary verb 'are' is often dropped in present continuous. Standard form would be "you are acting". This informal structure is common in song lyrics and casual speech.

• You think he know you, but I know you the most, girl

  ➔ Subject-verb agreement issue in colloquial speech

  ➔ In standard English, it should be "he knows" (third person singular). However, in colloquial speech and lyrics, the '-s' is often omitted, creating "he know". This is a common feature in informal spoken English.

• You will never find another one just like me

  ➔ Future simple with 'never' for emphasis

  ➔ The future simple tense with 'will' is used for predictions. Adding 'never' creates strong emphasis, indicating that something will not happen at any time in the future. The structure is "will + never + base verb".

• Long nights gettin' high on the coast, girl

  ➔ Present participle phrase as reduced relative clause

  ➔ "Gettin'" is a colloquial form of "getting". This line uses a reduced relative clause where the full form would be "Long nights [that are spent] getting high...". The participle phrase acts as an adjective describing "nights".

• I see your face when I look out the window

  ➔ Present simple with time clause

  ➔ This sentence uses the present simple tense for both the main clause and the time clause introduced by "when". The structure describes a habitual action that happens regularly when another action occurs.

• If you love me, hit me up on the flip phone

  ➔ First conditional

  ➔ The first conditional structure is "If + present simple, imperative". It's used for real and possible situations in the future. Here, it expresses a possible condition (loving the speaker) and its result (contacting him).

• I'm dyin', I don't think that my bitch know

  ➔ Present continuous + subject-verb agreement issue

  ➔ This line combines two grammar points: 1) Present continuous "I'm dyin'" (colloquial form of "dying") for an ongoing action/state. 2) Subject-verb agreement issue in "my bitch know" (should be "knows" in standard English). Both features are common in informal speech and lyrics.
