-
I could offer you a warm embrace
➔ Conditional Mood (Second Conditional - possibility)
➔ Uses "could + verb" to express a possible action or offer in a hypothetical situation. The implied 'if' clause is the situation described in the preceding lines. The sentence means 'If you were in this situation, I could offer...'
-

-
I've known it from the moment that we met
➔ Present Perfect Tense
➔ "I've known" is a contraction of "I have known", using the Present Perfect to express an action that started in the past (the moment they met) and continues to have relevance in the present. It emphasizes the duration and ongoing effect of the knowledge.
-
No doubt in my mind where you belong

-
Know there's nothing that I wouldn't do
➔ Relative Clause (with 'that')
➔ The relative clause "that I wouldn't do" modifies "nothing". It specifies which "nothing" the speaker is referring to - the 'nothing' they wouldn't do. The 'that' acts as the object of the verb 'do'.
