[English]

I just wanna get high with my lover

Veo una muñeca cuando miro en el espejo

Kiss, kiss, looking dolly, I think I may go out tonight

I just wanna ride, get high in the moonlight

I just wanna get high with my lover

Veo una muñeca cuando miro en el espejo

Kiss, kiss, looking dolly, I think I may go out tonight

I just wanna ride, get high in the moonlight

Forget the small talk

The surface level ain't much that I care for

Putting on my lip gloss

I saw you stare from my peripheral, yeah

Baby, it's been a hell of a day

But I know a place we can escape

Find out how it feels to let go of everything, be free

When you're here with me

I just wanna get high with my lover

Veo una muñeca cuando miro en el espejo

Kiss, kiss, looking dolly, I think I may go out tonight

I just wanna ride, get high in the moonlight

I just wanna get high with my lover

Veo una muñeca cuando miro en el espejo

Kiss, kiss, looking dolly, I think I may go out tonight

I just wanna ride, get high in the moonlight

There's nothing like peace of mind

And you take the time to make sure that I'm okay

I know I can put stress on your brain

(You still love me, put no one above me)

You always go out of your way

To show me that I'm your priority

Find out how it feels to let go of everything, be free

When you're here with me

I just wanna get high with my lover

Veo una muñeca cuando miro en el espejo

Kiss, kiss, looking dolly, I think I may go out tonight

I just wanna ride, get high in the moonlight

I just wanna get high with my lover

Veo una muñeca cuando miro en el espejo

Kiss, kiss, looking dolly, I think I may go out tonight

I just wanna ride, get high in the moonlight

Get higher with you

Get higher and higher with you

Let's go to the moon

And leave behind all that

How does it feel, here by my side getting higher and higher?, Under the moonlight's glow

There's nowhere we won't go, Together go higher and higher

Key Grammar Structures

• I just wanna get high with my lover

  ➔ Informal contraction ‘wanna’ = ‘want to’ + infinitive

  ➔ The word "wanna" is the colloquial contraction of "want to" followed by the infinitive "get".

• Veo una muñeca cuando miro en el espejo

  ➔ Simple present tense + temporal clause introduced by ‘cuando’ (when)

  ➔ The verb "Veo" (I see) and "miro" (I look) are in the simple present; "cuando" introduces a temporal clause meaning "when".

• Kiss, kiss, looking dolly, I think I may go out tonight

  ➔ Modal verb ‘may’ + base verb to express possibility

  ➔ The modal "may" in "I may go out" expresses a possibility rather than certainty.

• Forget the small talk

  ➔ Imperative mood (base verb without subject)

  ➔ The verb "Forget" is used in the imperative to give a direct command.

• The surface level ain't much that I care for

  ➔ Colloquial negative contraction ‘ain’t’ = ‘is not’; relative clause ‘that I care for’

  ➔ The word "ain't" is a non‑standard contraction for "is not"; "that I care for" is a relative clause modifying "much".

• Putting on my lip gloss

  ➔ Present participle phrase functioning as a gerund/fragment

  ➔ "Putting" is a present participle that can act as a gerund, creating a noun‑like phrase "Putting on my lip gloss".

• You always go out of your way to show me that I'm your priority

  ➔ Idiomatic expression ‘go out of your way’ + subordinate clause ‘that I’m your priority’

  ➔ "go out of your way" is an idiom meaning to make a special effort; the clause "that I'm your priority" is a content clause acting as object of "show".

• There's nothing like peace of mind

  ➔ Existential ‘there’s’ + noun phrase with comparative ‘like’

  ➔ "There's" introduces an existential clause; "nothing like peace of mind" uses "like" to compare and mean "nothing comparable to".
