[English]

Never been saved, but I've never come closer

Another year down and another year older

A million fresh starts, what I needed was closure, yeah

I lost who I was, but I found my composure, yeah

When I found you, I found me

Nothin' around, far as I could see

You were the current that carried me

When I found you, I found me

Lines in the sand, only you can read

My S.O.S., yeah, you rescued me

Rescue me

When I found you, I found me

Lines in the sand, only you can read

My S.O.S., yeah, you rescued me

Call it high-strung, started uppin' my dosage

We're way too young to be feeling this hopeless

You were my light in this endless ocean, yeah

Feeling alive, even just for this moment, yeah

When I found you, I found me

Nothin' around, far as I could see

You were the current that carried me

When I found you, I found me

Lines in the sand, only you can read

My S.O.S., yeah, you rescued me

Rescue me

When I found you, I found me

Lines in the sand, only you can read

My S.O.S., yeah, you rescued me

You got my S.O.S.O.S.

You got my S.O.S.O.S.

When I found you, I found me

Nothin' around, far as I could see

You were the current that carried me

When I found you, I found me

Lines in the sand, only you can read

My S.O.S., yeah, you rescued me

Rescued me

When I found you, I found me

Lines in the sand, only you can read

My S.O.S., yeah, you rescued me

Rescue me

Key Grammar Structures

• Never been saved, but I've never come closer

  ➔ Present Perfect Tense & Contrast with 'but'

  ➔ The 'Present Perfect' ('have/has + past participle') indicates an action that started in the past and continues to have relevance in the present. 'But' introduces a contrasting idea, highlighting a change in the speaker's experience.

• A million fresh starts, what I needed was closure, yeah

  ➔ Relative Clause (What...was)

  ➔ The phrase 'what I needed was closure' uses a relative clause starting with 'what'. 'What' refers to the entire preceding phrase ('a million fresh starts') and defines what was truly required.

• You were the current that carried me

  ➔ Metaphorical Use of 'was'

  ➔ The use of 'was' here isn't literal. It's a metaphor comparing the person to a 'current' – a force that moves and supports. It implies a powerful, guiding influence.

• Lines in the sand, only you can read

  ➔ Use of 'only'

  ➔ The word 'only' emphasizes the exclusivity of the person's ability to understand the speaker's boundaries or intentions ('lines in the sand'). It highlights a unique connection.

• You got my S.O.S.O.S.

  ➔ Repetition for Emphasis

  ➔ The repetition of 'S.O.S.' three times amplifies the urgency and desperation of the speaker's plea for help. It's a stylistic device to convey strong emotion.
