歌词：I believe this has to have meaning
我相信这其中一定有某种特殊的含义
Lightening had to strike till tonight
今晚也一定会有闪电
'Cause the two of us are finally meeting
因为咱俩最后一定会相遇
讲解：Strike用作动词的基本意思是“打”“击”“敲”。
Strike while the iron is hot. 趁热打铁。
Why did you strike him? 你为什么打他?
Strike引申可表示“划(火柴等)”
The girl struck a match to light a cigarette. 那女孩划火柴点燃一根烟。
Strike还可以表示“罢工”，用作名词也有这个含义。
I am sure the bus drivers will strike. 我相信公共汽车司机会罢工的。
He struck me as being a fool. 他给我的印象是一个傻子。
这个例句中是strike是给…以(深刻)印象”的意思。再比如：
It strikes me that Cage is a good girl. 我感到凯奇是很好的女孩子。


歌词：I feel like I know you from another life
就好像咱俩早已相识
It makes me wish I wasn't so pressed for time
使得我幻想时间能过的慢一点
讲解： pressed?adj.（金钱、时间等）紧迫的；压平的
pressed for?vt.缺少(缺乏)
I'm pressed for time this morning so I'll see you in the afternoon.
今天上午我时间紧，因此我下午才见你。
I'm very pressed for cash at the moment can I pay you next week?
我现在手头很紧－－下周再付给你行吗？

歌词：I can't catch my breath 'cause you take it away
因为你，我的呼吸没了节奏
讲解：catch a breath?透一口气
Let's sit down a minute to catch our breath.
让我们坐一会儿，歇口气。
Let me catch my breath after running so fast. 快跑过後让我喘一口气。
我无法喘气，为什么呢？'cause you take it away。’Cause就是because，take away指“带走”，这里的it表示前面提到的breath呼吸。带走呼吸，其实是指’使（某人）目瞪口呆，使大吃一惊-take sb's breath away?
