[English]

I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming out loud

I'm searching the missing part of my heart

Uuuuu uuuu uuuu, you catch me every time I fall

When I look into your eyes

I just know you tell me lies

This, this is my life I'm looking for you

Searching love in your eyes

This, this my life I'm chasing a dream

That fade away in the night

Can you get to my soul,

I'll make you lose the control,

I'll be your sun in the night

Just come here inside

I'm playing with you

I'm falling for you

When I look into your eyes

I just know you tell me lies

This, this is my life I'm looking for you

Searching love in your eyes

This, this my life I'm chasing a dream

That fade away in the night

I can't follow dreams forever

Just to see them fall apart

We can change the world if we are together

Cuz I know I won't let it go

When I look into your eyes

I just know you tell me lies

This, this is my life I'm looking for you

Searching love in your eyes

This, this my life I'm chasing a dream

That fade away in the night

I start to miss your smile, your voice is all I hear

I'm chasing hollow eyes, show me I'm wrong tonight

This, this is my life I'm looking for you

Searching love in your eyes

This, this my life I'm chasing a dream

That fade away in the night

Key Grammar Structures

• I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming out loud

  ➔ Present continuous tense for ongoing action, gerund as adverbial modifier.

  ➔ The use of "I'm dreaming" twice emphasizes the intensity of the dream state. "Out loud" modifies 'dreaming', indicating the dreaming is expressed verbally. The structure is **'I'm + verb-ing'**.

• When I look into your eyes, I just know you tell me lies

  ➔ Subordinate clause with 'when', simple present tense in both clauses, use of 'just' as an intensifier.

  ➔ This sentence uses a **'when'** clause to set the context for the realization of deceit. The **'simple present'** indicates a habitual or generally true situation. **'Just'** adds emphasis to the certainty of knowing the lies.

• I can't follow dreams forever, just to see them fall apart

  ➔ Modal verb 'can't' expressing inability, infinitive phrase expressing purpose.

  ➔ The sentence expresses a sense of futility. **'Can't'** indicates the speaker's inability to continue pursuing dreams indefinitely. The **'to see them fall apart'** phrase explains the reason – the inevitable disappointment.

• We can change the world if we are together

  ➔ Conditional sentence (Type 1) - 'if' clause + main clause, modal verb 'can' expressing possibility.

  ➔ This is a classic **Type 1 conditional** sentence, expressing a realistic possibility. The **'if'** clause sets the condition (being together), and the main clause states the result (changing the world). **'Can'** indicates the ability to achieve this result.
