Grammar:

• Lovely is the feelin' now

  ➔ Inversion (subject-verb)

  ➔ Normally, it would be 'The feelin' is lovely now.' The inversion 'Lovely is...' emphasizes the adjective. This is less common in modern English but used for stylistic effect.

• Power is the force, the vow that makes it happen

  ➔ Relative Clause (that)

  ➔ 'that makes it happen' is a relative clause modifying 'the vow'. 'That' introduces essential information about which vow is being referred to.

• It asks no questions why

  ➔ Indirect Question (implied)

  ➔ This is a shortened way of saying 'It asks no questions about why (it happens)'. The full indirect question would be 'why it happens'.

• ‘Til you don't know how

  ➔ Ellipsis (omission of verb)

  ➔ This phrase is a shortened version of “'Til you don't know how to love me” or “'Til you don't know how to keep going/stop”. The verb is implied from the context.

• Touch me and I feel on fire

  ➔ Conditional Sentence (Zero Conditional)

  ➔ This expresses a general truth or fact. The structure is 'If + Present Simple, Present Simple'. It implies that every time you touch me, I feel on fire.

• I'm melting like hot candle wax

  ➔ Simile

  ➔ A simile is a figure of speech that compares two unlike things using 'like' or 'as'. Here, the feeling of 'melting' is compared to 'hot candle wax'.

• So let love take us through the hours

  ➔ Imperative (Let)

  ➔ 'Let' is used to make a suggestion or give permission. Here, it's a gentle invitation or suggestion - 'Let love take us...' means 'Allow love to take us...'.

• I won't be complainin'

  ➔ Future Continuous (Negative)

  ➔ The future continuous describes an action that will be in progress at a specific time in the future. Here, it expresses a confident prediction that the speaker will not be complaining during that time.
