Grammar:
-
Every time we link up, it's only us there
➔ Time Clause with "every time"
➔ The phrase "every time" introduces a time clause that describes something that happens repeatedly. "Every time" + subject + verb, followed by the main clause.
-
We're thinkin', will we get there
➔ Indirect Question using "will"
➔ This is an indirect question embedded within a statement. Instead of directly asking "Will we get there?", it's phrased as "We're thinkin', will we get there". It changes the word order slightly.
-
You know that I miss you
➔ Noun Clause with "that"
➔ The clause "that I miss you" functions as the object of the verb "know". "That" introduces the clause, making it a noun clause. The "that" can often be omitted in informal speech/writing.
-
But I be gettin' mixed signals
➔ Use of "be" with present participle (Non-standard dialect)
➔ The construction "I be gettin'" is AAVE (African American Vernacular English) and signifies habitual action. It's similar in meaning to "I am usually getting" or "I tend to get".
-
When you know I can't have you
➔ Adverbial Clause of Time with "when"
➔ "When" introduces an adverbial clause of time, indicating the condition under which something else is true. The clause provides context to the main clause.
-
If you're so toxic to me, what am I fiendin'
➔ Conditional Sentence (Type 0/1 mix) with "if"
➔ This is a mix of a Type 0/1 conditional. The first part ("If you're so toxic to me") suggests a general truth (Type 0). The second part ("what am I fiendin'") implies a present or future consequence based on that general truth (leaning towards Type 1).
-
I'm just tryna get closure
➔ Contraction and infinitive of purpose
➔ "tryna" is a contraction of "trying to". "to get closure" is an infinitive phrase expressing the purpose or intention.
-
Now you walkin' on a thin line
➔ Present Continuous Tense (with non-standard "walkin'")
➔ "You are walking on a thin line". The use of "walkin'" instead of "walking" is a common elision in speech and informal writing. It shows an action in progress at the moment of speaking.
-
Yeah, you show me I don't want to rewind
➔ Embedded Clause as Object (with omitted "that")
➔ The clause "I don't want to rewind" acts as the direct object of the verb "show". The conjunction "that" is typically omitted in such cases, especially in informal speech.
