In the middle of the parking lot, yeah

拓展：
看到这个短语我最先想到的释义不是“在……中间”，而是“忙于做某事”。因为这个释义很高频，我们来看两个影视片段：
电影《前程似锦的女孩》
电影《海边的曼彻斯特》
除此之外，表达“忙”，你还会怎么说？
这里补充一个高频短语：
in the throes of 正忙于… 【If you are in the throes of doing or experiencing something, especially something difficult, you are busy doing it or are deeply involved in it.】
举个栗子：
①The country is in the throes of a general election.
该国正忙于大选。
②Despite being in the throes of school exams, Tamsin made the long trek from Liverpool.
虽然还要忙着准备学校的考试，塔姆辛还是完成了从利物浦出发的漫长而艰辛的跋涉。
同时，关于“很忙”，还有一个影视高频短语：in the thick of 表示“忙得不可开交” 【If you are in the thick of an activity or situation, you are very involved in it.】
例如：
He was in the thick of preparing the food for the party, so I didn't interrupt.
他在忙着准备聚会的食物，所以我没有打扰他。
短语“tie up”也有此义：
电影《爱你罗茜》
动画片《咱们裸熊》
除此之外，“on the trot ”也可以表示“很忙 ”【busy doing something tiring.】
举个栗子：
I've been on the trot all morning.
But you're just so cool, run your hands through your hair
但你是如此迷人 用你纤细的手穿过发丝
拓展：
“run...through...”在这里不是一个固定搭配，是直接根据“run”的意思来解释了。不过这里想顺便拓展“run through”的两个意思：
①排练;排演;练习
【If you run through a performance or a series of actions, you practise it.】
举个栗子：
Doug stood still while I ran through the handover procedure.
我在练习移交手续时，道格站在那里一动也不动。
②匆匆浏览;匆匆阅读;匆匆提及
【If you run through a list of items, you read or mention all the items quickly.】
举个栗子：
I ran through the options with him.
我把所有的选择都跟他过了一遍。
In a storm in my best dress, fearless
穿上我最华美的礼服 即使置身风暴中心 当下的我 已无所畏惧

In this one-horse town, I wanna stay right here
请你缓缓驶过这安逸的小镇
中文释义：
adj.（城镇）极小的，穷乡僻壤的，闭塞落后的
英文释义：
If someone describes a town as a one-horse town, they mean it is very small, dull, and old-fashioned.
例句：
Would you want to live in a small, one-horse town for your whole life?
你想在一个闭塞落后的小镇上过一辈子吗？
拓展：
这里再补充一个关于“one-horse”的意思：（比赛）胜负分明的【If a contest is described as a one-horse race, it is thought that one person or thing will obviously win it.】
举个栗子：
He described the referendum as a one-horse race.
他称这次全民公决是一场胜负分明的比赛。
But you pull me in and I'm a little more brave
当你将我拥入臂弯 我寻回了那一份勇气
拓展：
这里的“pull in”不是固定搭配，取的是“pull”作为“拉”的意思。
这里想拓展三个关于“pull in”的常见意思：
①（车）停下；（驾车者）停车
【When a vehicle or driver pulls in somewhere, the vehicle stops there.】
举个栗子：
He pulled in at the side of the road.
他靠边停了车。
②逮捕；把…抓起来
【If the police pull someone in, they arrest them and take them to the police station.】
举个栗子：
'Brady looks like a suspect.' — 'I'd pull him in.'
“布雷迪看着像个嫌疑犯。”——“我会去把他抓起来的。”
③挣；获得；赚取
【If you pull in an amount of money, you earn or collect that amount.】
举个栗子：
I only pull in 15,000 a year as a social worker.
作为一名社工，我每年仅挣15,000。
