Most of the times, when we listen to some songs, we don’t really pay attention to what the artists are singing. Other moments, especially when learning another language, this is exactly what we do: we listen and try to understand. Imagine you are an English teacher and that you are taking this particular song to your class, therefore you need to understand what it says.

Dreaming With a Broken Heart – John Mayer

When you’re dreaming with a broken heart,

The waking up is the hardest part

You roll out of bed and down on your knees

And for a moment you can hardly breathe

Wondering was she really here

Is she standing in my room?

No, she’s not

‘Cause she’s gone, gone, gone, gone, gone

When you’re dreaming with a broken heart,

The giving up is the hardest part

I. The verb “wake up” is an example of phrasal verbs, however, in this lyrics, in line 2, it is used as a subject.

II. The verb “roll” (line 3) is complemented by “out of” and “down on”, both turning the former verb into phrasal verbs.

III. “She’s gone”, written in the lyrics, is an example of a phrasal verb.

IV. “Give up” is an example of a phrasal verb, and its use in this lyrics may refer to giving up on the person who broke your heart.
