Grammar:

• You get a bit closer when the winter's cold.

  ➔ Conditional 'when' clause expressing a general truth.

  ➔ The word "when" introduces a time clause that states a condition under which something always happens. "When" the winter's cold, you automatically get closer.

• All of the best gifts you just can't buy.

  ➔ Relative clause with omitted relative pronoun (that/which).

  ➔ The full sentence would be 'All of the best gifts that/which you just can't buy'. The relative pronoun "that" or "which" is often omitted when it's the object of the relative clause.

• I wish we were kissing under mistletoe.

  ➔ Subjunctive mood in 'wish' clauses expressing a desire contrary to fact.

  ➔ The past subjunctive "were" is used after "wish" to express a desire that is not currently true. It indicates that the speaker wants to be kissing under the mistletoe, but they aren't.

• I hope that you'll make it back home soon.

  ➔ Use of "that" conjunction to introduce a noun clause functioning as the object of the verb 'hope'.

  ➔ The "that" can be omitted, but it's grammatically correct to include it. It signals that what follows is the content of the hope.

• Want you to be here while the angel's singing

  ➔ Infinitive of purpose after want + object.

  ➔ The structure is "want + object (you) + to + infinitive (be)". This expresses a desire for someone to do something.

• Laughing until we fall out of bed

  ➔ 'Until' clause indicating a limit of time. The action of laughing continues up to the point where they fall out of bed.

  ➔ The word "until" indicates that the action before it (laughing) continues up to the point specified by the clause following it (we fall out of bed).
