Grammar:

• I CAN'T REMEMBER EVERYTHING WE SAID BUT WE SAID IT ALL

  ➔ Past Simple Tense; 'all' as an adverb meaning 'completely'

  ➔ Uses the past simple tense to describe actions that happened in the past. The word "all" emphasizes that they said everything that needed to be said. "We said it all" means they expressed all their thoughts and feelings.

• YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU WISH I WAS SOMEBODY YOU NEVER MET

  ➔ Past Perfect Subjunctive (Wish Clause)

  ➔ The structure "wish + past perfect subjunctive" (i.e., "wish I was somebody you never met") expresses a regret about something in the past. It indicates the speaker regrets ever having met the other person.

• BABY, BABY SOMETHIN'S TELLIN' ME THIS AIN'T OVER YET

  ➔ Present Continuous (shortened form); Negative contraction 'ain't'

  ➔ "Somethin's tellin' me" is a shortened form of "Something is telling me". "Ain't" is a non-standard contraction of "is not", "are not", or "am not". In this context, it means "is not" referring to the situation not being over.

• I KISS YOUR LIPS, MAKE YOU GRIP THE SHEETS WITH YOUR FINGERTIPS

  ➔ Imperative without 'to' (Bare Infinitive); Simple Present for habitual actions

  ➔ "Make you grip" is an example of using a bare infinitive after the verb "make". The simple present tense ("I kiss") suggests a habitual or repeated action.

• JUST TALK ABOUT LIFE GOIN' SIP FOR SIP

  ➔ Present Participle 'goin'' (going) describing 'life'; prepositional phrase 'sip for sip'

  ➔ "Goin'" is a colloquial shortening of "going", acting as a present participle describing the state of "life". "Sip for sip" indicates that they are drinking at the same pace, sharing the experience equally.

• AND I SAY SHIT I DON'T MEAN

  ➔ Relative Clause (defining); Simple Present Negative

  ➔ "I don't mean" is the simple present negative tense. The phrase "shit I don't mean" is a relative clause defining which kind of "shit" is being referred to – specifically, the kind that he doesn't actually mean.

• BUT I'M STILL GON' WAKE UP WANTIN' YOU AND ME

  ➔ Future Tense (informal 'gon''); Present Participle ('wantin') as adjective

  ➔ "Gon'" is a shortened, informal version of "going to", used to express the future tense. "Wantin'" (wanting) functions as an adjective describing what he will wake up desiring.
