Lyrics & Translation

[English]

There's nothing colder

Than your shoulder

When you're dragging me along

Like you do, like you do

And then you switch up

With no warning

And you kiss me like you want it

How rude, how rude

But I kinda like it anyways

I don't mind

If this is gonna take a million days

I know you'll come around

To me eventually

If you sit back, relax

Enjoy my company

My company

Once you know

What my love's gonna feel like

Nothing else

Will feel right

You can feel like

Moonbeam ice cream

Taking off your blue jeans

Dancing at the movies

'Cause it feels

So mystical

Magical oh baby

'Cause once you know

Once you know

My love is

So mystical, magical

Oh baby!

'Cause once you know

Once you know

My little hard-to-get baby

I want to give you the world

Not saying you gotta chase me

But I wouldn't mind it

If you gave me just a little bit of

Something we can work it with

But all you do is push me out

But I like it anyways

'Cause I think

I'm getting closer to you everyday

I know you'll come around

To me eventually

Just sit back, relax

Enjoy my company

Oh baby! Trust me

Once you know

What my love's gonna feel like

Nothing else will feel right

You can feel like

Moonbeam ice cream

Taking off your blue jeans

Dancing at the movies

'Cause it feels

So mystical, magical

Oh baby!

'Cause, once you know

Once you know

My love is

So mystical, magical

Oh baby!

'Cause once you know

Once you know

Once you know what my love's going to feel like

...

Moonbeam ice cream

Nothing else will feel right

...

Mystical, magical oh baby

It's mystical, magical

...

Key Grammar Structures

• There's nothing colder Than your shoulder

  ➔ Comparative adjective ('colder') with 'than'

  ➔ This line uses the comparative adjective "colder" to compare the shoulder to "nothing." The word "than" introduces what is being compared to.

• When you're dragging me along

  ➔ Present continuous tense ('you're dragging')

  ➔ The present continuous "you're dragging" describes an action that is happening at the moment of speaking (or, in this case, singing). It suggests an ongoing, perhaps unwanted, action.

• And you kiss me like you want it

  ➔ Subordinate clause with 'like' to indicate manner

  ➔ The word "like" here is used as a conjunction, introducing a clause that describes *how* the kissing is done. It modifies the verb 'kiss'.

• If this is gonna take a million days

  ➔ Conditional sentence (Type 1 implied) with 'gonna' (going to)

  ➔ "Gonna" is a colloquial contraction of "going to." This phrase sets up a hypothetical situation (if it takes a million days) and implies a consequence that the speaker will endure it. It is a first conditional, although the main clause is presented later.

• I know you'll come around To me eventually

  ➔ Future simple with 'will' ('you'll come')

  ➔ The future simple tense, using the auxiliary verb "will" (contracted to "'ll"), expresses a belief or prediction about a future event. Here, the speaker believes the other person will eventually change their mind.

• Once you know What my love's gonna feel like

  ➔ Subordinate clause ('what my love's gonna feel like') functioning as the object of 'know'

  ➔ The phrase "What my love's gonna feel like" is a noun clause introduced by "what". It acts as the object of the verb "know." The word order within the clause is similar to a question, but because it is a noun clause, it doesn't have the subject-verb inversion typical of questions.

• Nothing else Will feel right

  ➔ Future simple with 'will' to express a prediction

  ➔ This line uses the future simple tense with "will" to express the speaker's strong belief or prediction that once the listener experiences their love, nothing else will be satisfactory. "Right" here means satisfactory or good.

• Not saying you gotta chase me

  ➔ Use of "gotta" (got to) in negative imperative context.

  ➔ "Gotta" is a colloquial contraction of "have got to" or "have to," indicating obligation or necessity. In this negative imperative statement, the speaker clarifies that they are *not* imposing an obligation on the listener to chase them. "Not saying" functions as an introductory phrase, setting the context.
