Grammar:

• Every time we link up, it's only us there

  ➔ Adverbial clause of time with 'every time'

  ➔ The phrase "every time" introduces a dependent clause indicating frequency. "Every time" we "link up", the situation described in the main clause occurs. This emphasizes the consistent occurrence of being alone together.

• Why you slow down, Don't stop this green light

  ➔ Imperative mood (Don't stop) and informal question formation (Why you slow down)

  ➔ "Don't stop" is a direct command. "Why you slow down" is grammatically incomplete, missing the auxiliary verb "do/did". This is common in informal speech or song lyrics to convey a sense of immediacy and casualness.

• Now you callin' me special, When you know I can't have you

  ➔ Present continuous tense with colloquial contraction ('callin') and subordinate clause of time with 'when'

  ➔ "You "callin'" me special" uses the present continuous tense to describe an action happening now. The 'g' is dropped in "callin'" as a common colloquialism. "When" introduces a time clause indicating the condition under which the speaker is being called 'special' – despite the fact that they cannot be together.

• If you're so toxic to me, what am I fiendin'?

  ➔ Conditional sentence type 1 (mixed with present and present continuous) and rhetorical question.

  ➔ "If you're so toxic to me" is the conditional clause, setting up the condition. "What am I fiendin'?" is a rhetorical question – the speaker isn't necessarily looking for an answer, but emphasizing their confusion and desire despite the other person's toxicity. The conditional is mixed since "you're so toxic" is a state of being, and "am I fiending" expresses a current action/craving.

• 'Cause I thought it was over

  ➔ Subordinating conjunction ('cause), past simple tense (thought), past simple (was)

  ➔ "'Cause" is a shortened, informal version of "because," used as a subordinating conjunction to introduce a reason. The past simple tense indicates completed actions in the past: thinking something and the state of it being over.

• I'm just tryna get closure

  ➔ Present continuous tense with colloquial abbreviation of 'trying to' ('tryna') and infinitive of purpose.

  ➔ "I'm just tryna get closure" uses the present continuous to express an action in progress. "tryna" is a colloquial shortening of "trying to," and "get closure" is the purpose of trying - expressed with the infinitive.

• Love me, then you switch up

  ➔ Imperative mood (Love me), then simple present indicating a habitual action (switch up).

  ➔ "Love me" is a direct command. "You switch up" in the simple present implies a recurring or habitual change in behavior.

• I'd rather we never pick up

  ➔ Modal verb 'would' + 'rather' expressing preference, followed by a bare infinitive (pick up) in a subordinate clause.

  ➔ "I'd rather" expresses a preference. It is followed by a clause in the subjunctive mood without "to" before the verb - "we never pick up". This structure shows a desire for a different scenario.
