[English]

We been quiet

Said we'd try it

For a while

But that was years ago

If you see me, if I see you

A part of me hopes that we do, no

Say everything we wanted to

After all this time

I cut the tree down that we grew

You know the one we carved our names into?

Still, I can't go back to the places we knew

'Cause they ask me if I still think about you

Only all the time

(Still think about you)

(Think about you)

Only all the time

(Still think about you)

(Think about you)

Only all the time

...

Only all the time

...

(Still think about you)

(Think about you)

Only all the time

(Still think about you)

(Think about you)

Only all the time

(Still think about you)

(Think about you)

Only all the time

...

Hometown drivin'

Autopilot

My phone's on silent

In case you call

If you see me, if I see you

A part of me hopes that we do, no

Say everything we wanted to

After all this time

I cut the tree down that we grew

You know the one we carved our names into?

Still, I can't go back to the places we knew

'Cause they ask me if I still think about you

Only all the time

(Still think about you)

(Think about you)

Only all the time, time, time, time

(Still think about you)

(Think about you)

Only all the time

...

(Still think about you)

(Think about you)

Only all the time

(Still think about you)

(Think about you)

Only all the time

(Still think about you)

(Think about you)

Only all the time

(Still think about you)

(Think about you)

Only all the time

Key Grammar Structures

• We been quiet

  ➔ Informal omission of the auxiliary verb *have* in the present perfect

  ➔ In the phrase ""We *have* been quiet"", the auxiliary *have* is dropped, a common spoken shortcut.

• Said we'd try it

  ➔ Past simple + modal *would* + bare infinitive (reported speech)

  ➔ The clause ""Said *we would* try it"" uses *would* as the past form of *will* to report a future intention from a past perspective.

• If you see me, if I see you

  ➔ Zero conditional – present simple in both if‑clause and main clause

  ➔ The repeated structure ""If *you see* me"" and ""if *I see* you"" follows the zero conditional pattern, expressing a general truth or habitual situation.

• A part of me hopes that we do, no

  ➔ Present simple + *that*-clause as object of a verb of hope

  ➔ In ""A part of me *hopes* "*that we do*"", the *that*-clause functions as the direct object of *hopes*.

• I cut the tree down that we grew

  ➔ Relative clause with past simple verb *grew* modifying a noun

  ➔ The phrase ""the tree down *that we grew*"" contains a relative clause *that we grew* describing which tree is meant.

• You know the one we carved our names into?

  ➔ Relative clause with preposition *into* stranded at the end (informal style)

  ➔ The clause "*we carved our names into*" ends with the preposition *into*, a common spoken construction where the preposition is stranded after the relative pronoun *one*.

• I can't go back to the places we knew

  ➔ Modal *can't* + infinitive *go*; past simple *knew* in a relative clause

  ➔ The construction "*can't go*" uses the modal *can* in its negative form, followed by the base verb *go*. The relative clause *that we knew* (here shortened to *we knew*) modifies *places*.

• they ask me if I still think about you

  ➔ Indirect yes‑no question introduced by *if*; present simple in the embedded clause

  ➔ In "*they ask me if I still think about you*", the clause *if I still think about you* is an indirect question that functions as the object of *ask*.

• My phone's on silent

  ➔ Contraction *'s* for *is*; prepositional phrase *on silent* as a state description

  ➔ The contraction *phone's* stands for *phone is*, and the prepositional phrase *on silent* tells us the phone's current setting.
