[English]
Midnight in my city
All these lights they call my name
My world isn't pretty
I've seen the best of it
I got the best of you
Pick me up, pick me up
Pick me up, pick me up
Help me back on my feet
Pick me up, pick me up
Pick me up, pick me up
It feels like I can see
Something new...
Do you feel it too?
I'm looking for something new
I don't know what I'm looking for
But I'm looking for something, for something
For something
I felt everything
I'm ever gonna feel
Don't know where I've been
All these streets look wrong
Don't know where I belong
Pick me up, pick me up
Pick me up, pick me up
Help me back on my feet
Pick me up, pick me up
Pick me up, pick me up
It feels like I can see
Something new...
Do you feel it too?
I'm looking for something new
I don't know what I'm looking for
But I'm looking for something
For something
For something
Do you feel it too?
I'm looking for something...
But I'm looking for something
Something new...
Do you feel it too?
But I'm looking for something
For something
For something
I never knew

    ➔ Negative contraction in the present simple

    ➔ The contraction "isn't" combines "is" + "not", forming a negative statement.

  • I got the best of you

    ➔ Past simple used as a colloquial present perfect

    ➔ The verb "got" is the past simple of "get", but in informal speech it can express a present state: "I "got" the best of you".

    ➔ Imperative mood (command)

    ➔ The base form "Pick" is used to give a direct command: ""Pick" me up".

  • Help me back on my feet
