Grammar:

• Oh, I never knew you were that someone waiting for me

  ➔ Past Simple with 'never' for emphasis; 'that' as a determiner to specify a particular person.

  ➔ The singer is expressing surprise, using the past simple 'knew' to indicate a realization in the past. 'That' emphasizes the specific person he was waiting for. The construction is a little informal but common in spoken English.

• Cos we were just kids when we fell in love

  ➔ Past Simple; 'when' clause describing the time.

  ➔ Uses the past simple tense to describe the beginning of the relationship. The 'when' clause specifies the time frame: 'when we were just kids'. 'Cos' is a shortened, informal version of 'because'.

• I will not give you up this time

  ➔ Future Simple with 'will not' (won't) for a promise; Phrasal verb 'give up' (abandon).

  ➔ Expresses a firm decision or promise about the future. 'Give up' is a phrasal verb meaning to stop trying or abandon something/someone.

• Your heart is all I own

  ➔ Present Simple; 'all' as a pronoun referring to everything that is owned.

  ➔ A simple statement of possession in the present. 'All' here means everything he owns of value.

• She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home, oh

  ➔ Present Simple ('shares'); Future Simple with 'will' ('I'll share'); 'that' as a conjunction introducing a clause after 'hope'.

  ➔ Uses the present simple to describe a current situation ('She shares my dreams') and the future simple to express a hope for the future ('I'll share her home'). 'That' is optional after 'hope' but makes the sentence clearer.

• To carry love, to carry children of our own

  ➔ Infinitive of purpose; Parallel structure with 'To carry... to carry...'

  ➔ The infinitive form ('to carry') is used to express the purpose or reason for something. The repetition of 'to carry' creates a parallel structure, adding emphasis and poetic effect.

• When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful

  ➔ Past Simple ('saw'); Participle clause ('looking so beautiful') modifying 'you'.

  ➔ The past simple describes the action of seeing. The participle clause provides additional information about 'you' at the time of seeing.
