[English]

You're the light, you're the night

You're the color of my blood

You're the cure, you're the pain

You're the only thing I wanna touch

Never knew that it could mean so much, so much

You're the fear, I don't care

'Cause I've never been so high

Follow me to the dark

Let me take you past our satellites

You can see the world you brought to life, to life

So love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do

Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do

Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do

What are you waiting for?

Fading in, fading out

On the edge of paradise

Every inch of your skin is a holy grail I've got to find

Only you can set my heart on fire, on fire

Yeah, I'll let you set the pace

'Cause I'm not thinking straight

My head spinning around I can't see clear no more

What are you waiting for?

Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do (like you do)

Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do

Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do

What are you waiting for?

Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do (like you do)

Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do (yeah)

Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do

What are you waiting for?

...

I'll let you set the pace

'Cause I'm not thinking straight

My head spinning around I can't see clear no more

More, more, more...

What are you waiting for?

Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do (like you do)

Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do (yeah)

Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do

What are you waiting for?

Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do (like you do)

Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do (yeah)

Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do

What are you waiting for?

Key Grammar Structures

• You're the light, you're the night

  ➔ Contraction of 'You are', Subject-Verb Agreement

  ➔ The use of the contraction 'You're' is common in song lyrics for rhythm. The verb 'to be' is conjugated correctly to agree with the subject 'You'.

• You're the cure, you're the pain

  ➔ Metaphor, Subject Complement

  ➔ This line uses a metaphor, equating 'the cure' and 'the pain' to the person being addressed. 'Cure' and 'pain' function as subject complements, renaming or describing 'You'.

• Follow me to the dark

  ➔ Imperative Mood

  ➔ This is a direct command, using the imperative mood. The verb 'Follow' is used without a subject, as the subject ('You') is implied.

• Let me take you past our satellites

  ➔ Infinitive of Purpose, Indirect Object

  ➔ The infinitive phrase 'to take you' expresses the purpose of 'Let'. 'Me' is the indirect object, receiving the action of 'taking'. 'Our satellites' is the object of the preposition 'past'.
