Lyrics:

[English]

[中文]

I'm standin' still without you

我在没有你的地方静静站着

In the emptiest of fields

在最空旷的田野里

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

我希望我能说出我心中的想法

The straw that fills your heart

填满你心的稻草

So you never have to feel

这样你就永远不会感到

You say that you just need a little time

你说你只需要一点时间

Days like these I bury my

像这样的日子我埋葬我的

My each and every word

每一个字

And hide them underneath these lonely trees

并把它们藏在这些孤独的树下

The harvest moon is wicked

丰收的月亮是邪恶的

I know that you've been hurt

我知道你受过伤

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

我发誓我会一直在这里，我永远不会离开

This is where it starts tonight

今晚就是从这里开始

If you open up your heart tonight

如果你今晚敞开你的心

You're staring out the window

你正望着窗外

And I'm out here in the street

而我在街上

You stand there like a scarecrow

你就像一个稻草人站在那里

And I'm begging you to speak

我恳求你说话

You used to be my solid ground

你曾是我坚实的依靠

Now I'm drowning in the sea

现在我在海里溺水

And I just want to believe in you and me

我只想相信你和我

I just want to believe in you and me

我只想相信你和我

(Heeya! Heey! Heeya! Heey)

(嘿呀！嘿！嘿呀！嘿)

You used to be so full of life

你曾经充满生机

Not just an empty shell

不只是一个空壳

You're out there all alone I wonder why

你孤零零地在外面，我想知道为什么

The pieces keep on falling out

碎片不断掉落

And I pick them up myself

我自己捡起它们

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

但我愿意让你偷走我眼中的按钮

Oh, this is where it starts tonight

哦，今晚就是从这里开始

If you open up your heart tonight

Well nothing's what it seems to be

Grammar:

• I'm standin' still without you

  ➔ 现在进行时 (standing 缩写)

  ➔ “现在进行时”描述一个正在发生的动作。 缩写 'standin'' 是 'standing' 的非正式缩写形式。

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

  ➔ 虚拟语气 (愿望从句)

  ➔ “I wish that I could say” 这个短语表达了一种对目前不真实的事情的渴望或遗憾。 它使用过去虚拟语气 ('could say') 来表示这一点。

• You used to be my solid ground

  ➔ Used to + 动词原形 (过去的习惯/状态)

  ➔ "Used to be" 表示过去的状态，现在不再适用。 它暗示了过去某人/某事的状态与现在的状态之间的对比。

• Now I'm drowning in the sea

  ➔ 现在进行时 (表达性用法)

  ➔ 虽然通常描述现在正在发生的动作，但这里的现在进行时 (“I'm drowning”) 强调了在当前情况下感到不知所措和挣扎的感觉，而不是字面意义上的溺水行为。

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

  ➔ 条件句 (类型 2 - 不真实/假设)

  ➔ 这个句子使用了 'If + 过去式, would + 动词原形' 的结构 (隐含 'If you wanted to')。 它表达了一种假设的情况，以及说话者愿意做一些极端事情的意愿。 单词 'would' 缩写为 'd'。

• Well nothing's what it seems to be

  ➔ 主谓倒装 (为了强调)

  ➔ 虽然不是完全倒装，但语序强调了 “nothing” —— 声明的否定核心。 更标准的顺序是 “Nothing is what it seems to be”。

• How can I make you feel again?

  ➔ 情态动词 (can)，在疑问句中表达能力/可能性。

  ➔ "Can" 是一个情态动词，表达了使某人再次产生感觉的能力或可能性。 疑问句结构询问实现此目的的手段。
