문법:

• How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?

  ➔ 情态动词 'can' + 条件从句 'when' + 'be afraid to' 结构

  ➔ 'Can' 表达能力或可能性。'When' 引入一个条件从句，暗示爱是建立在克服恐惧之上的。'Be afraid to' 表达对特定行为的恐惧。

• All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

  ➔ 副词 'suddenly' + 副词 'somehow' 的使用

  ➔ 'Suddenly' 描述怀疑消失的速度。'Somehow' 表明消失的原因是未知的或无法解释的。

• I have died every day waiting for you

  ➔ 现在完成进行时 ('have died') + 'every day' + 'waiting for'

  ➔ 现在完成进行时强调等待时隐喻性死亡的持续性和重复性。 'Every day' 强调了重复。

• I will not let anything take away what's standing in front of me

  ➔ 将来时 ('will') + 'let' (使役动词) + 名词性从句 ('what's standing in front of me')

  ➔ 'Will' 表达未来的意图。'Let' 表明允许某事发生。名词性从句充当 'take away' 的宾语。

• Every breath, every hour has come to this

  ➔ 主谓一致（单数动词 'has' 与单数主语 'breath' 和 'hour'）+ 'come to this'

  ➔ 虽然有两个主语（'breath' 和 'hour'），但 'every' 使每个主语在意义上都是单数，因此需要单数动词 ('has')。'Come to this' 表示达到一个高潮点。

• And all along I believed I would find you

  ➔ 过去时 ('believed') + 条件语气 'would' + 隐含虚拟语气

  ➔ 'Would find' 从过去的角度表达了对未来事件的信念。 它表明，在过去的某个时刻，说话者坚信会找到另一个人。 虽然不是明确的虚拟语气，但存在希望/希望的元素。
