Grammar:

• Hear it in my tone, see it in my eyes

  ➔ Imperative mood

  ➔ Using the base form of the verbs "hear" and "see" to directly instruct the listener. This is a typical use of the imperative mood.

• we were by design

  ➔ Passive voice (implied) / Prepositional phrase as an adverbial

  ➔ It implies "we were created by design". "By design" acts as an adverbial phrase, modifying the verb "were". It shows the manner or way in which they were together.

• I know that it's God up there giving me the signs

  ➔ Present participle as a clause modifier / Cleft sentence (implied)

  ➔ "Giving me the signs" acts as a clause modifier, describing what God is doing "up there". There's also an implied emphasis: "It is God who is giving me the signs."

• Out of all the world, you and I aligned

  ➔ Past simple tense

  ➔ The past simple tense "aligned" indicates a completed action in the past. It signifies that the alignment happened at a specific point in time.

• I'll always love you with no compromise

  ➔ Future simple with "will"

  ➔ The use of "will" indicates a future intention or promise. The adverb "always" emphasizes the duration and certainty of the love.

• Deeper than seas and higher than the sky

  ➔ Comparative adjectives

  ➔ Using "deeper" and "higher" to show a comparison, illustrating the magnitude of the love.

• Til there's nothing left you'll be on my right

  ➔ Future simple with "will" / Subordinate conjunction "til"

  ➔ "You'll be" uses future simple to indicate a future state. The conjunction "til" (short for until) introduces a time clause, indicating the duration of the future state.

• Be it rain or shine you're forever mine

  ➔ Subjunctive mood (archaic) / Zero conditional structure (implied)

  ➔ "Be it" is an archaic subjunctive construction implying "Whether it is..." or "If it is...". It expresses a general truth: regardless of the weather conditions (rain or shine), the statement "you're forever mine" holds true.
