Grammar:

• Memories follow me left and right

  ➔ Subject-verb agreement; Simple Present Tense

  ➔ The plural noun "memories" requires the plural verb "follow". The sentence uses the simple present tense to describe a recurring action.

• I can feel you over here

  ➔ Modal verb "can" (ability/possibility); Use of "feel" as a sensory verb

  ➔ "Can" expresses the ability to feel. "Feel" takes a direct object (you) and implies a sensation.

• You take up every corner of my mind

  ➔ Phrasal verb "take up"; Use of "every" as a determiner.

  ➔ "Take up" means to occupy or fill. "Every" emphasizes that all corners of the mind are affected.

• Ever since the da-day y-you went away

  ➔ Use of "ever since" to indicate time passed from a past event

  ➔ "Ever since" connects the present emotional state with the event of someone leaving in the past. It emphasizes the continuous effect.

• How to erase your body from out my brain?

  ➔ Infinitive phrase as a subject; Use of "from out" (informal)

  ➔ The infinitive phrase "How to erase your body..." acts as the subject of the sentence. "From out" is an informal way of saying "from".

• Maybe I should just focus on me instead

  ➔ Modal verb "should" (advice/suggestion); Preposition "on" after "focus"

  ➔ "Should" expresses a suggestion or advice to oneself. "Focus on" is the correct prepositional phrase.

• Are the nights we were tangled up in your bed

  ➔ Relative clause with "we were tangled up"; Passive voice in the relative clause.

  ➔ "The nights we were tangled up" is a noun phrase with a relative clause specifying which nights. "Were tangled up" uses the passive voice.

• Got you stuck up in my head, yeah

  ➔ Reduced relative clause (implied "I've"); "Stuck up" as a combined adjective

  ➔ The sentence is short for "I've got you stuck up in my head". "Stuck up" modifies "you", describing the state of being fixated in one's mind.

• How much more do I gotta drink for the pain?

  ➔ Informal contraction "gotta"; Interrogative sentence structure

  ➔ "Gotta" is an informal contraction of "got to". The sentence uses the interrogative structure with an auxiliary verb ("do") to ask a question.
