Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Heartbeat going crazy

They say we should fall in line

Saying we're too young to stay in love

They got issues with us staying in love

But-a we're just far too crazy, yeah

So baby don't tame me

You found a lion uh you prey me

Oh baby don't fail me

Cause you really make my fancy work

So tell me where you wanna take it?

I'm your figure You could paint me naked

Like a picture, I can see our love running wild

Baby be my weekend

Love the way you posing when we painting yeah

Lookin' at you girl I can't control it

Everybody betting that we don't make it

Guess we gotta leave it up to luck now, yeah

Can't stop make me wanna rev right now

Redline, keep it going lovebound

Now drop-top feeling got the windows down

Nothing else matters only us right now

Cause everybody's all for "good intentions"

Baby all I really want is your attention

You're my beat now, playing on repeat, our love

And nothing can go wrong, living a love song, yeah

Let me show you the way

I'll be your high-beams in the rain

Blast off going outer space

Cause you really make my fancy work

So tell me where you wanna take it?

I'm your figure You could paint me naked

Like a picture, I can see our love running wild

Baby be my weekend

Love the way you posing when we painting yeah

Lookin' at you girl I can't control it

Everybody betting that we don't make it

Guess we gotta leave it up to luck now, yeah

Miles away, far from what they would say about us

I'm not afraid cause this feeling has changed, oh oh

From luck to fate, I'll bet on our love every day

Don't care 'bout what people say

So tell me where you wanna take it?

I'm your figure You could paint me naked

Like a picture, I can see our love running wild

Baby be my weekend

Love the way you posing when we painting yeah

Lookin' at you girl I can't control it

Everybody betting that we don't make it

We don't have to leave it up to luck now, yeah

Key Grammar Structures

• They say we should fall in line

  ➔ Modal verb 'should'

  ➔ ''Should'' is used here to express advice or a recommendation about what is right or appropriate.

• Saying we're too young to stay in love

  ➔ 'Too + adjective + to-infinitive' structure

  ➔ This structure indicates that something is excessive, preventing an action. Here, being "''too young''" prevents them from "''staying in love''" (in the eyes of others).

• Cause you really make my fancy work

  ➔ Causative verb 'make'

  ➔ The causative verb "''make''" is used here to show that the subject (you) causes the object ("''my fancy''") to perform an action ("''work''"). It's followed by the base form of the verb.

• I'm your figure You could paint me naked

  ➔ Verb + Object + Adjective Complement

  ➔ The verb "''paint''" is followed by an object ("''me''") and an adjective ("''naked''") that describes the state of the object after the action.

• I can see our love running wild

  ➔ Verb of perception + object + present participle

  ➔ Verbs of perception like "''see''" can be followed by an object ("''our love''") and a present participle ("''running wild''") to describe an ongoing action being perceived.

• Everybody betting that we don't make it

  ➔ Implicit Present Continuous + 'that'-clause

  ➔ The verb "''betting''" is used as a present participle (part of 'is betting') followed by a "''that''"-clause acting as a noun clause, specifying what people are betting on. The phrase "''make it''" is an idiom meaning to succeed.

• Guess we gotta leave it up to luck now, yeah

  ➔ Informal 'gotta' (have to) + Phrasal verb 'leave up to'

  ➔ "''Gotta''" is an informal contraction of "got to" or "have to", expressing necessity. "''Leave it up to''" is a phrasal verb meaning to let someone/something decide or be responsible for something.

• Baby all I really want is your attention

  ➔ Emphatic structure 'All + subject + verb + is/are + complement'

  ➔ This structure emphasizes that the complement ("''your attention''") is the ''only'' thing the subject ("''I''") wants.

• Miles away, far from what they would say about us

  ➔ Noun clause with 'what' after a preposition

  ➔ The "''what''"-clause ("''what they would say''") functions as a noun clause, acting as the object of the preposition "''from''". It refers to the things or words they would say.

• I'm not afraid cause this feeling has changed

  ➔ Present Perfect tense

  ➔ The "''present perfect''" tense ("''has changed''") is used to describe an action or state that began in the past and continues up to the present, or has a result in the present. Here, the feeling changed in the past, and that change is still relevant now.
