Grammar:

• It's not that I don't want you here...

  ➔ Cleft sentence with "it's" + "that" clause

  ➔ The structure "It's" + the focused element + "that" + the remaining information emphasizes "not that I don't want you here". This emphasizes what it *isn't* about.

• I fall for you every time I try to resist you

  ➔ "Every time" + clause

  ➔ "Every time" introduces a clause, indicating that something happens consistently when a certain condition is met. In this case, "I fall for you" happens each time she tries to resist the person.

• All I wanna hear is inner visions on replay

  ➔ Reduced relative clause: "All (that) I wanna hear is..."

  ➔ The "that" is omitted in the relative clause. The full clause would be "All that I wanna hear is..."

• Thinking we should wait, but we don't really want to

  ➔ Gerund phrase introducing a reason: "Thinking we should wait..."

  ➔ The gerund phrase "Thinking we should wait" provides the reason why they are refraining from showing their feelings. It acts like an adverbial clause of reason.

• Yeah, I just wanna feel you

  ➔ Ellipsis of "want to": "I just wanna feel you" (instead of "I just wanna feel you up/in my arms")

  ➔ The phrase "want to" is implied but omitted, creating a more direct and suggestive tone. The intended meaning relies on context.

• Come through, I think I need you here

  ➔ Imperative sentence "Come through" (informal)

  ➔ "Come through" is an informal imperative phrase meaning "come over" or "visit".

• Fuck gravity, I'd rather stay up here, but...

  ➔ Conditional sentence (mixed): "I'd rather stay up here" implies an unreal condition dependent on overcoming gravity.

  ➔ While not explicitly using "if", the sentiment expresses a desire that is currently impossible due to gravity. "I'd rather" indicates a preference for something that isn't the current reality, implying a counterfactual situation.
