I'm standin' still without you 00:09

In the emptiest of fields 00:10

I wish that I could say what's on my mind 00:12

The straw that fills your heart 00:17

So you never have to feel 00:18

You say that you just need a little time 00:21

Days like these I bury my 00:24

My each and every word 00:27

And hide them underneath these lonely trees 00:29

The harvest moon is wicked 00:33

I know that you've been hurt 00:35

I swear I'm here for good I'll never leave 00:37

This is where it starts tonight 00:40

If you open up your heart tonight 00:43

You're staring out the window 00:48

And I'm out here in the street 00:51

You stand there like a scarecrow 00:53

And I'm begging you to speak 00:55

You used to be my solid ground 00:57

Now I'm drowning in the sea 00:59

And I just want to believe in you and me 01:01

I just want to believe in you and me 01:05

(Heeya! Heey! Heeya! Heey) 01:07

You used to be so full of life 01:15

Not just an empty shell 01:17

You're out there all alone I wonder why 01:19

The pieces keep on falling out 01:23

And I pick them up myself 01:25

But I'd let you steal the buttons from my eyes 01:27

Oh, this is where it starts tonight 01:30

If you open up your heart tonight 01:33

You're staring out the window 01:39

And I'm out here in the street 01:41

You stand there like a scarecrow 01:43

And I'm begging you to speak 01:45

You used to be my solid ground 01:47

Now I'm drowning in the sea 01:49

And I just want to believe in you and me 01:51

Yeah, I just want to believe in you and me 01:54

(Heeya! Heey! Heeya! Heey) 01:58

(Heeya! Heey! Heeya! Heey) 02:05

You said you'd open up for me 02:12

Well nothing's what it seems to be 02:15

How can I make you feel again 02:20

Only you can make me real again 02:24

You're staring out the window 02:28

And I'm out here in the street 02:31

You stand there like a scarecrow 02:33

Lyrics:

[English]

I'm standin' still without you

In the emptiest of fields

I wish that I could say what's on my mind

The straw that fills your heart

So you never have to feel

You say that you just need a little time

Days like these I bury my

My each and every word

And hide them underneath these lonely trees

The harvest moon is wicked

I know that you've been hurt

I swear I'm here for good I'll never leave

This is where it starts tonight

If you open up your heart tonight

You're staring out the window

And I'm out here in the street

You stand there like a scarecrow

And I'm begging you to speak

You used to be my solid ground

Now I'm drowning in the sea

And I just want to believe in you and me

I just want to believe in you and me

(Heeya! Heey! Heeya! Heey)

You used to be so full of life

Not just an empty shell

You're out there all alone I wonder why

The pieces keep on falling out

And I pick them up myself

But I'd let you steal the buttons from my eyes

Oh, this is where it starts tonight

If you open up your heart tonight

You're staring out the window

And I'm out here in the street

You stand there like a scarecrow

And I'm begging you to speak

You used to be my solid ground

Now I'm drowning in the sea

And I just want to believe in you and me

Yeah, I just want to believe in you and me

(Heeya! Heey! Heeya! Heey)

You said you'd open up for me

Well nothing's what it seems to be

How can I make you feel again

Only you can make me real again

You're staring out the window

And I'm out here in the street

You stand there like a scarecrow

And I'm begging you to speak

You used to be my solid ground

Now I'm drowning in the sea

I just want to believe in you and me

You're staring out the window

I'm out here in the street

You stand there like a scarecrow

I'm begging you to speak

You used to be my solid ground

Now I'm drowning in the sea

And I just want to believe in you and me

Yeah, I just want to believe in you and me

(Heeya! Heey! Heeya! Heey)

You're staring out the window

I'm out here in the street

You stand there like a scarecrow

And I just want to believe in you and me

Grammar:

I'm standin' still without you

➔ Present Continuous Tense (with shortened 'standing')

➔ The "Present Continuous" describes an action happening now. The contraction 'standin'' is an informal shortening of 'standing'.
I wish that I could say what's on my mind

➔ Subjunctive Mood (Wish Clause)

➔ The phrase "I wish that I could say" expresses a desire or regret about something that is not currently true. It uses the past subjunctive ('could say') to indicate this.
You used to be my solid ground

➔ Used to + infinitive (past habit/state)

➔ "Used to be" indicates a past state that is no longer true in the present. It implies a contrast between how someone/something was in the past and how they are now.
Now I'm drowning in the sea

➔ Present Continuous Tense (expressive use)

➔ While usually describing actions happening now, here the Present Continuous ("I'm drowning") emphasizes the feeling of being overwhelmed and struggling in the current situation, rather than a literal act of drowning.
But I'd let you steal the buttons from my eyes

➔ Conditional Sentence (Type 2 - Unreal/Hypothetical)

➔ This sentence uses the structure 'If + past simple, would + infinitive' (implied 'If you wanted to'). It expresses a hypothetical situation and the speaker's willingness to do something extreme. The word 'would' is shortened to 'd'.
Well nothing's what it seems to be

➔ Subject-Verb Inversion (for emphasis)

➔ While not a full inversion, the word order emphasizes the "nothing" - the statement's negative core. A more standard order would be "Nothing is what it seems to be".
How can I make you feel again?

➔ Modal Verb (can) for ability/possibility in an interrogative sentence.

➔ "Can" is a modal verb expressing the ability or possibility of making someone feel again. The interrogative structure asks about the means to achieve this.
