Grammar:

• Been two years, our memories are blurred

  ➔ Present Perfect Passive (Our memories "are blurred")

  ➔ The present perfect passive is used to describe a state that is the result of a past action. "Been" is the shortened form of "has been" or "have been". Here, it emphasizes that the memories are currently in a blurred state because of the passage of time.

• Hadn't heard your voice, no, not a word

  ➔ Past Perfect Negative (Hadn't heard)

  ➔ The past perfect is used to describe an action that happened before another action in the past. "Hadn't heard" means that the speaker hadn't heard the person's voice before a specific point in the past.

• They talk about the things we were

  ➔ Past Simple ("were") used to describe a past relationship/state

  ➔ The past simple "were" indicates a past state of being. Here, it refers to the relationship they had in the past, which is now over.

• She's dancing on your feet

  ➔ Present Continuous ("She's dancing")

  ➔ The present continuous describes an action happening at the moment of speaking. It conveys that the dancing is occurring right now.

• Heard she's everything I never was

  ➔ Noun Clause as Object (" hat she's everything I never was")

  ➔ The phrase "that she's everything I never was" functions as a noun clause, serving as the object of the verb "Heard". It is indirectly reported speech. The past simple tense is used because the comparison happens in the speaker’s past.

• Never gonna move like her, move like

  ➔ Future with "gonna" (informal) + Comparative ("like her")

  ➔ "Gonna" is an informal contraction of "going to", used to express future intention. "Move like her" is a comparison, showing that the speaker will not move in the same way as the other person.

• The thing I thought was missing wasn't you

  ➔ Relative Clause ("The thing I thought was missing")

  ➔ "I thought was missing" is a relative clause modifying "The thing." The relative pronoun "that" or "which" is omitted. The entire phrase acts as the subject of the sentence.

• And now I'm no longer scared to meet the night

  ➔ Adjective + Infinitive ("scared to meet")

  ➔ The structure "adjective + to + infinitive" (e.g., "scared to meet") expresses a feeling or ability related to the action described by the infinitive. Here, it indicates the speaker's feeling of fear (or lack thereof) about meeting the night.
