歌词：I still remember way back then, waking up with u in my arms.
我还是记得很久以前，清晨起来时你在我怀中。
回忆和怀念的都是美好的画面，这一句歌词说的是很久以前的事。短语way back表示“老早就、很久以前”，比如说：I first met him way back in the fifties. 我和他初次见面是早在一九五几年的事。
短语wake up用在自己身上表示“醒来”，用在别人身上呢就是“叫醒”。比如：
I didn't wake up until I heard the alarm clock. 直到听到闹钟的铃声我才醒来。
Stop shouting or you'll wake up the neighbors. 不要喊了，否则你会把邻居吵醒的。

歌词：Everytime that summer comes around, I'm reminded of u.
每次夏天来到我都会想起你。
Come around在歌词中是最简单的意思，表示“来到”，还可以表示“来访”，比如：
这星期你不能到这儿来，我一直非常遗憾。
I've been so sorry you couldn't come around this week.
Come around还有一个意思是“苏醒、复苏”，比如：
The patient came around the next morning. 第二天这个病人苏醒了过来。
Remind of 使某人回想起某事，常常表达为remind sb. of sth.，也可以用作被动语态，听个例句：I don't want to be reminded of it. 我不想有别人来使我想起那件事。

歌词：Got me so hooked on u I don't know what to do.
你令我这么着迷，我不知道该怎么办。
这句歌词里值得我们学习的短语是get hooked on，hook的本义是“钩子”，get hooked on我们可以理解为“上钩”，在口语里呢其实这个短语表示“对...着迷，上瘾”，比如：
Young men can easily get hooked on this kind of music. 小伙子是很容易喜欢上这种音乐的。

歌词：Everyday I took for granted, thought that u'd be here to stay.
我将每一天都当作必然，一直以为你会一直留在这。
Take for granted也是一个常见短语，意思是“认为...是理所当然的”，比如：
Don't take his help for granted. 不要认为他的帮助是应该的。
而take it for granted 也是一个约定俗成的表达，举个例子：
I take it for granted that they have arrived there already.
我还以为他们已经到那儿了。
