[English]
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
It's the way you say you're such a gentleman
It's the time you take to give me compliments
It's love, it's love, it's the beginning (it's the beginning, yeah)
When the sun comes up, I hear their dissonance
Red alert, alarm, but I'm not listenin'
It's love, it's love, it's tunnel vision
Sweet delusion
Forever all-consuming
It's a fantasy, better than being alone
Keep me company, don't you ever let go
Lose my sanity and get lost in the smoke
'Cause reality is inevitable
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
I'll admit that silence is my favorite
But some nights, it can be so suffocating
Can you die from hyperventilation? (Ah-ah-ah)
Sweet delusion
It's a fantasy, better than being alone
Keep me company, don't you ever let go
Lose my sanity and get lost in the smoke
'Cause reality is inevitable
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh)
Sweet delusion
Forever all-consuming
It's a fantasy, better than being alone
Keep me company, don't you ever let go
Lose my sanity and get lost in the smoke
'Cause reality is inevitable
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)

Key Grammar Structures

  • It's the way you say you're such a gentleman

    ➔ Present simple with dummy subject "it" + noun clause

    ➔ The word "It" does not refer to anything concrete; it introduces the clause "the way you say you're such a gentleman".

  • It's the time you take to give me compliments

    ➔ Infinitive of purpose (to + verb) after a noun

    "to give" shows the purpose of "the time you take".

  • When the sun rises, I hear their dissonance

    ➔ Zero conditional (if/when + present simple, present simple)

    "When" introduces a real‑time condition; both clauses use the present simple.

  • Red alert, alarm, but I'm not listening

    ➔ Contrast with "but" + present progressive negative

    "but" links two ideas; "I'm not listening" uses the present progressive to show ongoing inaction.

  • Keep me company, don't you ever let go

    ➔ Imperative + negative question with modal "don't"

    "Keep" is a command; "don't you ever let go" is a rhetorical negative question urging the listener not to release.

  • Lose my sanity and get lost in the smoke

    ➔ Compound imperative with coordinated verbs (verb + and + verb)

    "Lose" and "get" are both commands linked by "and" to convey two related actions.

  • I'll admit that silence is my favorite

    ➔ Future simple with "will" contraction + noun clause (that‑clause)

    "I'll" = "I will"; the that‑clause "that silence is my favorite" functions as the object of "admit".

  • Can you die from hyperventilation?

    ➔ Yes/No question with modal verb "can" + infinitive

    "Can" expresses ability or possibility; the structure "Can you + verb?" forms a direct question.
