Key Grammar Structures

• And she's just out of reach

  ➔ Present Simple with the verb 'to be' + Adjective Phrase (out of reach)

  ➔ This uses the present simple to describe a current state. "out of reach" is an adjective phrase meaning unattainable or just beyond grasp.

• Feels like I'll never be alone again

  ➔ Present Simple ('Feels like') + Future Simple ('I'll never be')

  ➔ Describes a present feeling and its future implication. "Feels like" shows a subjective perception, and "I'll never be" expresses a certainty about the future.

• Whenever she's close, wherever she goes, I wanna be near

  ➔ Adverbial Clauses of Time and Place ('Whenever', 'Wherever') + 'wanna' (contraction of 'want to')

  ➔ Uses adverbial clauses to indicate the conditions under which the speaker wants to be near the subject. "Wanna" is an informal contraction of "want to."

• But I didn't know just how I'd feel

  ➔ Past Simple ('didn't know') + Indirect Question (embedded question with 'how')

  ➔ Expresses a past lack of awareness using the past simple. The phrase "just how I'd feel" is an indirect question functioning as the object of the verb "know".

• Something is different than it was before

  ➔ Comparative Adjective ('different than') + Past Simple ('was')

  ➔ "Different than" is used to make a comparison between the current state and a past state. Although "different from" is more standard, "different than" is common especially in American English.

• Now that it's intimate, I want more!

  ➔ Subordinating Conjunction ('Now that') + Present Simple ('is', 'want')

  ➔ "Now that" indicates a reason or cause-and-effect relationship. The present simple describes the current state (intimate) and the speaker's desire.

• He'd be the artist and I'd be the brush

  ➔ Second Conditional (Hypothetical/Imaginary situation)

  ➔ This line expresses a hypothetical or imaginary situation. The structure is 'If + Past Simple, would/could/might + infinitive'. In this case, the 'if' clause is implied; the sentence directly presents the hypothetical outcome.
