[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 feelin' this hopeless ♫

♫ You were my light in this endless ocean, yeah ♫

♫ Feelin' 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 ♫

Key Grammar Structures

• Never been saved but I've never come closer

  ➔ Present Perfect & Past Perfect

  ➔ The phrase uses both 'have never been' (present perfect, describing a state continuing to the present) and 'have never come closer' (present perfect, indicating an action completed recently with relevance to now).

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

  ➔ Noun as Adjective & Subjunctive Mood (implied)

  ➔ "Fresh starts" uses 'fresh' as an adjective modifying 'starts'. The 'what I needed was...' construction implies a subjunctive mood, expressing a desire or necessity.

• Call it high-strung, started uppin' my dosage

  ➔ Gerund as Subject Complement & Phrasal Verb

  ➔ "High-strung" functions as a subject complement describing the state of being. "Uppin'" is a colloquial contraction of 'upping', part of the phrasal verb 'up the dosage'.

• You were my light in this endless ocean, yeah

  ➔ Metaphor & Adjective Order

  ➔ The sentence employs a metaphor, comparing 'you' to 'light' and the world to an 'endless ocean'. 'Endless' precedes 'ocean' as it's an opinion/descriptive adjective.
