Grammar:

• I JUST WOKE UP FROM A DREAM WHERE YOU AND I HAD TO SAY GOODBYE

  ➔ Past Perfect (had to say) in a subordinate clause with "where"

  ➔ The past perfect "had to say" indicates an action completed before another action in the past (waking up). "Where" introduces a clause describing the content of the dream.

• WHATEVER YOU GO THAT'S WHERE I'LL FOLLOW

  ➔ Conditional sentence structure with future tense and adverbial clause of place.

  ➔ "Wherever you go" functions as an adverbial clause of place. "I'll follow" is the main clause showing future action dependent on the place.

• NOBODY’S PROMISED TOMORROW

  ➔ Passive voice (implied) with a possessive 's

  ➔ Implies that nobody is guaranteed tomorrow; that tomorrow is not promised *to* anyone. The possessive 's indicates that tomorrow belongs to nobody.

• SO IMMA LOVE YOU EVERY NIGHT LIKE IT'S THE LAST NIGHT

  ➔ Informal contraction "Imma", Conditional "like it's" (subjunctive mood)

  ➔ "Imma" is a very informal contraction of "I'm going to". "Like it's the last night" uses the subjunctive mood to express a hypothetical or unreal condition.

• IF THE WORLD WAS ENDING I’D WANNA BE NEXT (TO YOU)

  ➔ Second conditional (unreal/hypothetical) - "If + past simple, would/could/might + infinitive"

  ➔ This is a classic second conditional. "Was ending" (past simple) expresses an unreal present situation. "I'd wanna be" (would + infinitive) expresses the unreal result.

• AND OUR LOVE IS THE ONLY WAR WORTH FIGHTING FOR

  ➔ Relative clause with reduced form (worth fighting for)

  ➔ "Worth fighting for" is a reduced relative clause. The full clause would be "that is worth fighting for", with "that is" omitted.
