歌词：Head in the clouds got no weight on my shoulders.
飘飘欲仙，所有的负担都抛却。
1. 这句歌词没有比较难的词汇，但我们要留意一个短语: have one’s head in the cloud，字面 意思是“头在云中”，实际含义是“胡思乱想的”。比如：
Rather than having his head in the clouds, he needs to be more pragmatic.
他应该更实际一点，而不是做白日梦。
（“务实，实际的”可以用上单词pragmatic；Rather than常翻译为“与其…倒不如”或者“而不是”。）
2. Weight 作为名词表示“重量，体重”，比如：
He gained some weight recently.
近来，他的体重增加了。
3. A weight on one’s mind 相当于某人心里的一块石头，听个句子体会一下：
The loss⁵ of the money has been a weight on my mind.
丢钱的事总是压在我心里。
歌词：I gotta give up, but it's you you you.
我想要放弃，但是你却让我着迷。
Give up是中学的短语，表示“放弃；抛弃；戒除”。戒烟叫做give up smoking⁶，比如：
The doctor advised me to give up smoking.
医生建议我戒烟。
歌词：Every time you touch me and say you love me, I get a little bit breathless.
每次你触碰我，说你爱我，我都几乎无法呼吸。
Breathless是形容词，表示“喘不过气来的”，还可以表示“无风而沉闷的”。比如：
I was completely⁷ breathless when I got to the top of the mountain.
当我到达山顶上时，已经上气不接下气了。
我是在一个又闷又热的下午遇到他的。
I met him in a hot and breathless afternoon.
歌词：I'll be better off without you.
没有你我会更好。
Better off表示情况更好，可以把它当形容词，接在be动词后来使用，比如：
Since I got my new job I've been better off.
自从我有了新的工作，生活就比较宽裕了。
We are better off this year than we were last year.
我们今年的境况要比去年好。
