Gramática:

• Sometimes I look for your black Civic

  ➔ 一般现在时

  ➔ 使用一般现在时描述习惯性动作： 我有时“寻找”你的黑色思域。

• When I'm driving past Your church on Sunday morning

  ➔ 现在进行时

  ➔ 使用现在进行时描述正在进行的动作：我“正在开车”经过你的教堂。

• And I kinda always wanna Write down I miss you love me

  ➔ 情态动词 "wanna"

  ➔ "Wanna"是 "want to" 的口语缩写。 我 “wanna” 写... = 我想要写...

• But I sometimes always never do

  ➔ 频率副词

  ➔ 这句话使用频率副词（“sometimes”、“always”、“never”）的组合来强调，造成一种内在冲突：“I sometimes always never do”意味着说话者几乎从不这样做，但正在与这种冲动作斗争。

• single's where its at

  ➔ 口语/非正式语言

  ➔ "where it's at"是一种非正式表达，意思是“美好的时光在哪里”或“什么是酷/令人向往的”。它不如说“单身是最好的选择”或“单身是理想的”那么正式。

• But I'm always lying to myself when I say that

  ➔ 现在进行时用于强调 (lying)

  ➔ 使用现在进行时 "I'm lying" 强调了说话者知道自己在对自己撒谎。它突出了谎言的持续性和故意性。

• That it's not fair to compare but I do

  ➔ 非人称 "it" 和对比的想法

  ➔ “it”指的是将其他女孩与他的前女友进行比较的行为。这句话将知道比较是不公平的（道德上是错误的）与他*仍然*比较的现实进行了对比，显示了内心的冲突。

• Wish I could be okay With the way without you feels

  ➔ 虚拟语气 (Wish I could be)

  ➔ "Wish I could be"表达了对目前不真实或不太可能的事情的愿望。虚拟语气表示假设的或反事实的情况。
