Grammar:

• I'm a flame, you're a fire

  ➔ Simple Present Tense (to be)

  ➔ Uses the simple present tense to describe a current state or identity. "I'm" is a contraction of "I am", and "you're" is a contraction of "you are".

• I'm the dark in need of light

  ➔ Definite article 'the' + prepositional phrase 'in need of'

  ➔ The definite article "the" specifies that it's a particular, identified darkness. "In need of" is a prepositional phrase meaning requiring or lacking something. Here, the dark needs light.

• When we touch, you inspire

  ➔ Adverbial clause of time ('when') + simple present tense

  ➔ Uses "when" to create a conditional situation that triggers the action in the main clause. "Touch" is in the simple present tense as it describes something that happens regularly or generally, leading to the result of inspiring.

• So take me up, take me higher

  ➔ Imperative mood

  ➔ "Take" is used in the imperative mood, which expresses a command or request. "Higher" is the comparative form of the adjective "high."

• There's a world not far from here

  ➔ Existential 'there is' + relative clause implied

  ➔ "There's" is a contraction of "there is", used to indicate the existence of something. The phrase "not far from here" acts as a post-modifier, describing the world's location.

• Or we can burn in love tonight

  ➔ Modal verb 'can' + infinitive without 'to'

  ➔ "Can" expresses possibility or ability. "Burn" is in the base form of the verb, following the modal verb "can".

• Our hearts are like firestones

  ➔ Simile using 'like'

  ➔ Uses the word "like" to draw a comparison between hearts and firestones, suggesting a resemblance in some quality (in this case, their ability to create sparks/love).

• Perfect strangers in the night

  ➔ Adjective + noun phrase + prepositional phrase

  ➔ "Perfect" is an adjective describing "strangers", which is a noun. "In the night" is a prepositional phrase providing context for where the strangers are.
