Grammar:

• I guess you wonder where I've been

  ➔ Indirect Question; Present Perfect Continuous (implied)

  ➔ "I guess you wonder" introduces an indirect question. The phrase "where I've been" is not a direct question ("Where have I been?") but embedded within the statement. "I've been" implies the speaker has been somewhere for a period of time leading up to the present.

• I searched to find a love within

  ➔ Infinitive of Purpose

  ➔ The phrase "to find" expresses the purpose of the action "I searched." The infinitive form of the verb (to + verb) explains *why* the action was taken.

• I came back to let you know

  ➔ Infinitive of Purpose

  ➔ Similar to the previous example, "to let you know" expresses the *purpose* of coming back.

• My friends wonder what is wrong with me

  ➔ Indirect Question

  ➔ "what is wrong with me" is embedded within the statement "My friends wonder". It's not a direct question, but a clause that functions as the object of the verb "wonder". Note the subject-verb order ("what *is* wrong"), not "what *wrong is*" which would be appropriate for a direct question.

• Well, I'm in a daze from your love, you see

  ➔ Prepositional Phrase (cause)

  ➔ The phrase "from your love" is a prepositional phrase indicating the *cause* of being in a daze. The preposition "from" connects the daze to its cause.

• Some people go around the world for love

  ➔ Prepositional Phrase (purpose)

  ➔ Similar to infinitive of purpose, the prepositional phrase "for love" indicates the purpose or reason for the action "go around the world".

• But they may never find what they dream of

  ➔ Relative Clause (noun clause)

  ➔ "what they dream of" is a relative clause acting as a noun clause. It serves as the object of the verb "find". The "what" here functions as both the relative pronoun and the missing element within the clause. (They dream of *something* = They dream of *what*).

• What you won't do, do for love

  ➔ Ellipsis; Emphasis

  ➔ This line uses ellipsis by omitting a verb. It can be expanded as "What you won't do, *I* do for love" (or someone else implied in the context). The inversion of "do for love" and the repetition of "do" emphasizes the extraordinary actions taken for love.
