➔ The phrase "Quando você vem..." uses the present subjunctive ("vem"), expressing a possibility or uncertainty about when she will come. "Para passar" is an infinitive phrase expressing purpose. Note that while *vem* is formally subjunctive, in modern spoken Brazilian Portuguese, it often substitutes for the indicative.

-
É que você ignora tudo que eu faço
➔ Relative pronoun "que" and subjunctive mood.
➔ "Que" is a relative pronoun introducing a clause modifying "tudo." The verb "faço" (I do) is in the present indicative. It could be subjunctive (faca) if the speaker were not sure if he does it, but here it states a fact.

Depois vai embora / Desatando os nossos laços

É muita ousadia ter que percorrer / O país inteiro pra achar você
