[English]

Destroy myself

Baby, no, no, no (ooh)

Don't wanna go to this place with you

It's dark enough where I'm at now

Don't drag me down to that hell of a place you call home

You get me so damn hot some nights

Ecstasy ain't got nothing on you

Some days we're closer than fugitives

We're on the run, just having fun, we need each other to survive

Oh, you keep me alive, oh

How free it is, how freeing it is

Oh, what a feeling, what a feeling

'Til we hit the ground and you say it again

You say that we're just friends

Keep dragging it on in this situationship

You say that we're just friends

Just to drag me along, then go and kiss my lips

Oh, why'd you go and kiss my lips?

Oh

• It's dark enough where I'm at now.

  ➔ It-cleft structure and adverbial clause

  ➔ ‘It’s’ introduces a descriptive statement, and ‘where I’m at now’ is an adverbial clause showing location.

• You get me so hot sometimes.

  ➔ Causative structure and adverb of frequency

  ➔ ‘Get’ as a causative verb means ‘cause to become’. ‘Sometimes’ expresses occasional frequency.

• We’re on the run, just having fun.

  ➔ Present continuous and participial phrase

  ➔ ‘We’re on the run’ uses present continuous for an ongoing state. ‘Having fun’ is a participial phrase describing the main action.
