Some question trying to understand the lyrics
It's a song by Huang Zitao - Cinderella
talking about his girl and he wants her back
http://y.qq.com/#type=song&mid=001YBDLd0gQm8g
There were 2 sentences couldn't understand
the second sentence in this
因为我还爱你
**曾经的我没有办法左右自己
回忆起那时是 我不对吧
控制不了自己 无法再回头
曾经的我没有办法左右自己
previously I couldn't have control on myself
Uh 时间牵住我的心 在跳
Time is holding my heart ?It's not a trash song, and it's a rap style, he puts his love to music and writes his own experience. I respect him for that instead of being a robot do what others gave them. I understand it's a song and is not like formal texts, one can use metaphors, use words for melody make it pleasant to hear etc.
The sentence " Uh 时间牵住我的心" is in here:
以为回忆很美好
可结局留下的只有伤痛
My girl 到我身边好吗
My girl 外面的人好吗
You're not a playgirl
You're my sunshine
有你在就是我的 sunshine
现在我每天睁开眼睛
承受你不在身边 的安静
你一直最想听的 三个字
现在说晚吗
因为我还爱你
*repeated verse*
My girl 以为回忆很美好
可结局留下的只有伤痛
You are my Cinderella Cinderella
My girl
You are my Cinderella girl
每刻每分每秒 时间在走吧 go
把手给我这一次别再 分开了吧
Say yes
有你在的地方 我都去 好吧
你是我唯一在乎 可以爱上
可以害怕的人
Uh 时间牵住我的心 在跳
Uh 为什么你让我 神魂颠倒
还记得 那些 照片吗
给我机会 让我找到你
把你牵回家 真的快回来吧 my girl

uh 时间牵住我的心 在跳
My take on it:
1) keeping the tone of urgency of "每刻每分每秒 时间在走吧 go go"
2) could expand to 2 sentences (时间牵住我的心) (我的心在跳)
3) with a final meaning of
Time pulls on my beating heart
OR
4) Time pulls on my heart; it still beats.
Certainly not a strong logical connection to the theme of "Please come back, baby; I was wrong" or even to the nearby phrases,, but hey, it's a "love song", and what have (erotic) love and logic got in common?

1. Pop song lyrics do not have to make sense, and they often do not.
2. Pop song lyrics often disregard grammar and writing rules. Pop songs are music, not essays.
3. "曾经的我没有办法左右自己"
他大概想说: "当时的我控制不住自己。" 左右就是"控制"的意思。Your understanding is correct.
4. "时间牵住我的心 在跳"
This is unclear. It is either deliberately unclear, or the lyricist just ran out of ideas.
One interpretation could be this. "Time" is often a code word for "memories" and "change". It could mean both here. "Time has left its mark on me. I have changed. I did change and leave you. What remain in my heart are memories and regret. The memories and regret beat with ny heart: they are still vivid and have not faded." It also means that he will continue to change: 他的心永远随着时光的流逝而变,谁也控制不了,昨天如此,明天也会如此。This interpretation is really giving the lyricist the benefit of the doubt and assumes that he can write something coherent.
5. The fact that pop song lyrics are often badly written does not need to prevent us from enjoying them. We are free to enjoy bad writing and meaningless words, especially when they are set to an easy melody and sung by a sexy singer. It is perfectly fine to enjoy low-brow trash. We are just human beings. There is no need for us to be saints. We eat trashy food, make friends with trashy people and listen to trashy songs. That's life.

Actually a lot of Chinese people do't like the songs of Huang Zitao because the lyrics are so bad. And personally I don't think it's a good way for you to learn Chinese by this kind of songs.
