Stereo Hearts
歌詞:
[English]
My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every no-ote
Make me your radio
And turn me up when you feel low (turn it up a little bit)
This melody was meant for you (right there)
Just sing along to my stereo (Gym Class Hero, baby)
If I was just another dusty record on the shelf
Would you blow me off and play me like everybody else?
If I asked you to scratch my back, could you manage that?
Like it yikky yeah, check it Travie, I can handle that
Furthermore, I apologize for any skipping tracks
It's just the last girl that played me left a couple cracks
I used to, used to, used to, used to, now I'm over that
'Cause holding grudges over love is ancient artifacts
If I could only find a note to make you understand
I'd sing it softly in your ear and grab you by the hand
Just keep it stuck inside your head, like your favorite tune
And know my hearts a stereo that only plays for you
My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every no-ote
Make me your radio
And turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh) to my stereo
(Oh, oh-oh, oh) just sing along to my stereo
Let's go!
If I was an old-school, fifty-pound boombox (remember them?)
Would you hold me on your shoulder, wherever you walk?
Would you turn my volume up in front of the cops?
And crank it higher every time they told you to stop
And all I ask is that you don't get mad at me
When you have to purchase mad D batteries
Appreciate every mixtape your friends make
You never know, we come and go like on the interstate (never know)
I think I finally found a note to make you understand
If you can hit it, sing along and take me by the hand
Just keep me stuck inside your head, like your favorite tune
You know my heart's a stereo that only plays for you
My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close (listen)
Hear my thoughts in every no-ote
Make me your radio (come on)
And turn me up when you feel low (turn it up)
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo (sing along like)
(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh) to my stereo
(Oh, oh-oh, oh) just sing along to my stereo
I only pray you'll never leave me behind (never leave me)
Because good music can be so hard to find (so hard to find)
I take your hand, hold it closer to mine (yeah)
Thought love was dead, but now you're changing my mind
My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every no-ote
Make me your radio
And turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh) to my stereo (it's your boy, Travie)
(Oh, oh-oh, oh) just sing along to my stereo (yeah)

文法:
-
If I was just another dusty record on the shelf
➔ 仮定法過去
➔ 「もし～なら、～だろう」という表現。現実とは異なる状況を仮定しています。ここでは、話し手は埃っぽいレコードではありません。
-
Would you blow me off and play me like everybody else?
➔ 仮定法過去（疑問形）
➔ 仮定法過去を使った質問。「Would」を文頭に置いて疑問形を作っています。
-
If I asked you to scratch my back, could you manage that?
➔ 仮定法過去（「could」を使った質問）
➔ これも仮定法過去の別の例です。「could」を使うことで、明確な結果ではなく、可能性や能力を示唆しています。「if」節は過去の仮定の状況を表し、「could」はその行動を実行する能力を指します。
-
I used to, used to, used to, used to, now I'm over that
➔ 「以前は～だった」
➔ 「used to」＋動詞の原形は、過去の習慣や状態を表し、現在はそうではないことを示します。話し手はその習慣や状態が繰り返し起こっていたことを強調し、その状態から抜け出したことを示唆する「over that」と言っています。
-
Cause holding grudges over love is ancient artifacts
➔ 主語と動詞の一致
➔ 「Holding grudges over love」が主語で、動名詞句が単数名詞として機能します。したがって、動詞は単数形の「is」です。
-
If I was an old-school, fifty-pound boombox (remember them?)
➔ 仮定法過去と間投詞
➔ 仮定法過去の継続使用。「(remember them?)」は間投詞であり、脇道や中断として挿入される単語またはフレーズです。
-
Would you hold me on your shoulder, wherever you walk?
➔ 仮定法過去と「wherever」節
➔ 文は仮定法過去で続きます。「Wherever you walk」は場所の副詞節で、場所に関係なくアクションが発生することを示しています。
-
And all I ask is that you don't get mad at me
➔ 「ask」の後の名詞節
➔ 「that you don't get mad at me」というフレーズは名詞節であり、動詞「ask」の目的語として機能します。単語「that」は名詞節を紹介します。
