Nights Like This
歌詞:
[English]
You act like you need remindin'
Tryna do it over, bring it back and rewind it
But all that glitters isn't gold, I was blinded
Should have never gave you my heart on consignment
And I can't believe the lies that I went for
Thought you was mine, but you decided to be with him though
You took my feelings and just threw 'em out the window
Feel like it's too hard to fall in love again, no
On some nights like this, shawty, I can't help but think of us
I've been reminiscin', sippin', missin' ya
Can you tell me what's with all this distant love?
If I called, would you pick it up?
On some nights like this, I just wanna text you, but for what?
You gon' say you want me, then go switch it up
Just gon' play with my emotions just because, no (Oh)
All them times I played the fool for you
Thinking we could put it back together, thought we had forever
You never see my point of view
Our connection is so severed, you don't show no effort
And I can't believe the lies that I went for
Thought you was mine, but you decided to be with him though
Took my feelings and just threw 'em out the window
Feel like it's too hard to fall in love again, no
On some nights like this, shawty, I can't help but think of us
I've been reminiscin', sippin', missin' ya
Can you tell me what's with all this distant love?
If I called, would you pick it up?
On some nights like this, I just wanna text you, but for what?
You gon' say you want me, then go switch it up
Just gon' play with my emotions just because, no (Oh)
You gon' get my hopes high, girl
You gon' get my hopes high, girl
Just gon' tell me more lies, girl
Just gon' get my hopes high, girl
I've been way too good to you, you take me for granted
You was my day one since back at Big B's house on Adams
First day that we met, I flagged you down, I told you, hit my line
Used to promise me you'd never switch on me like Gemini
You think I'm a fool, ain't nobody stupid
I see all the signs, I see all the clues
Yeah, sometimes I reminisce 'bout that shit when I'm binging
Can't believe it's been a whole year, yeah, but
On some nights like this, shawty, I can't help but think of us
I've been reminiscin', sippin', missin' ya (Missing ya)
Can you tell me what's with all this distant love? (Love)
If I called, would you pick it up?
On some nights like this, I just wanna text you, but for what?
You gon' say you want me, then go switch it up (Switch it up)
Just gon' play with my emotions just because, no (Oh)
You gon' get my hopes high, girl
You gon' get my hopes high, girl
Just gon' tell me more lies, girl
Just gon' get my hopes high, girl

文法:
-
You act like you need remindin'.
➔ 現在形、「act like」+動名詞
➔ 「act like」というフレーズは、他のものに似た行動を説明するために使用されます。ここでは、その人が「need reminding」（思い出させる必要がある）かのように振る舞っていることを示唆しています。Reminding（動名詞）は前置詞「like」の目的語として機能します。
-
All that glitters isn't gold, I was blinded.
➔ ことわざ、受動態（'I was blinded'）
➔ 「All that glitters isn't gold」は、外見は欺瞞的である可能性があることを意味する一般的なことわざです。「I was blinded」は受動態で、外部の力（おそらく相手の行動）が原因で、話し手がはっきりと見ることができなくなったことを示しています。
-
Should have never gave you my heart on consignment.
➔ 法助動詞+完了形（'should have' +過去分詞）で後悔を表す
➔ 「Should have never gave」は後悔を表します。話し手は、自分の心を委託で与えたことで間違いを犯したと感じています。「Consignment」はここでは、何かを与えるが、それが売られるまで法的所有権を保持することを意味し、用心深かったがそれでも傷ついたことを意味します。
-
If I called, would you pick it up?
➔ 仮定法過去 (If + 過去形、would + 原形)
➔ これは第二条件文であり、現在または将来の非現実的なまたは仮説的な状況について話すために使用されます。 これは、話し手が電話をかけた場合、相手が電話に出るかどうか疑っていることを意味します。
-
You gon' say you want me, then go switch it up
➔ 未来形 ('gon' - going to); フレーズ動詞 ('switch it up')
➔ 「Gon」は「going to」の口語的な短縮形で、将来の意図を表現するために使用されます。「Switch it up」は、何かを変更することを意味する句動詞であり、多くの場合、予期しない方法で行われます。この文は一貫性のない行動を表しています。
-
Just gon' play with my emotions just because, no (Oh)
➔ 強調のための "just" の使用。カジュアルな未来形 ( "gon' play" )。理由節 ( "just because" )
➔ ここでの単語 "just" は強調のために使用されており、話者のフラストレーションを示しています。 "gon' play" は "going to play" のカジュアルな発音で、将来の行動を示しています。フレーズ "just because" は、相手の行動に相手自身の気まぐれ以外の実際の理由はないことを示しています。
-
Used to promise me you'd never switch on me like Gemini
➔ Used to + 不定詞; 条件付き would
➔ "Used to promise" は、もはや真実ではない過去の習慣または繰り返された行動を示しています。「You'd never switch on me」は、「you would never switch on me」の短縮形で、約束を表現しています。比較 "like Gemini" は、二面性で知られる占星術のサインを参照しています。
