Grammar:

• I left my heart at a pub in Hampstead

  ➔ Past Simple Tense

  ➔ The verb "left" is the past simple form of "leave." It describes a completed action in the past.

• So far off, your seat's nowhere near the table

  ➔ Adverb of Degree (so) + Negative Adverb (nowhere)

  ➔ "So" intensifies the distance, and "nowhere near" emphasizes the complete lack of proximity.

• 'Cause I think to be so dumb must be nice

  ➔ Infinitive Phrase as Subject + Modal Verb (must)

  ➔ "To be so dumb" functions as the subject. "Must" expresses a deduction or assumption.

• What makes you think you're even invited?

  ➔ Question with Embedded Clause

  ➔ "What makes you think" is the main question, and "you're even invited" is the embedded clause acting as the object of "think."

• I would rather feel everything than nothing every time, mm

  ➔ Conditional (would rather) + Comparative Structure (than)

  ➔ "Would rather" expresses preference. "Than" introduces the less preferred option.

• I don't remember too much of the last year

  ➔ Negative statement + quantifier "too much"

  ➔ The negative "don't remember" combined with "too much" suggests partial memory loss.

• You think you've read the book I'm still writing

  ➔ Present Perfect + Relative Clause

  ➔ "You've read" (present perfect) suggests a completed action with relevance to the present. "I'm still writing" (present continuous) describes an ongoing action. The relative clause "I'm still writing" modifies the noun "book".

• Rather be swimming with you than drowning in a crowded room

  ➔ Reduced Conditional (Would rather) + Parallel Structure (swimming/drowning)

  ➔ The "I would" is implied before "Rather". The gerunds "swimming" and "drowning" are used in parallel structure after "rather be" and "than", creating a balanced comparison.
