Grammar:

• Truth is, I'm down for you

  ➔ Idiomatic Expression: "Down for"

  ➔ "Down for" means that the speaker is interested in or willing to do something with the other person, in this case, be in a relationship. It implies commitment and interest.

• Before I knew it, I was caught in your vibe

  ➔ Past Simple Passive Voice: "was caught"

  ➔ The passive voice is used to emphasize that the subject (I) was the recipient of the action (being caught). The phrase "before I knew it" adds to the suddenness of the experience.

• That type of energy is all that I'm on

  ➔ Relative Clause with preposition at the end: "all that I'm on"

  ➔ The sentence is a more colloquial way of saying "That type of energy is all I am interested in". The preposition "on" is placed at the end of the relative clause, which is common in informal English.

• More than your body is turning me on

  ➔ Comparative structure: "More than..."

  ➔ This structure indicates that something is of greater importance or impact than something else. Here, the speaker is saying that the woman's personality or vibe is more attractive than her physical appearance.

• When I thought I had enough, I thought forever I would be alone

  ➔ Past Simple and Conditional "would + be"

  ➔ The first clause is in the past simple to describe a past thought or belief. The second clause uses "would + be" to describe a hypothetical situation in the past based on that thought. It expresses what the speaker believed would happen.

• I use to think love was just a feeling

  ➔ Used to + infinitive: "use to think"

  ➔ "Used to" describes a past habit or state that is no longer true. Here, the speaker is saying that they previously believed love was just a feeling but now their perspective has changed.

• I guess that's how it feels, when you ain't done healing and that's why

  ➔ Informal Contraction: "ain't"

  ➔ "Ain't" is a non-standard contraction often used informally. In this context, it's replacing "haven't" or "aren't". The sentence describes the feeling of love being different when you haven't fully recovered from past emotional wounds.

• Feels more like I want you here for life

  ➔ Modal Verb + Preposition: "Want + here for" implying desire and duration

  ➔ The sentence expresses a desire for a long-term commitment. The phrase "here for life" emphasizes the duration and seriousness of the speaker's feelings.
