Grammar:
-
Spending all spending spending all my time
➔ Present Participle as a noun modifier/gerund.
➔ The repeated "Spending" acts like a noun, where it is describing the activity. 'spending my time' is the focal action. The use of a present participle implies ongoing activity. This differs from if it used 'spent' because the verb is "in progress".
-
Loving you so loving you forever
➔ Present Participle phrase acting as an adjective/adverb modifying the main verb (implied)
➔ "Loving you so" and "loving you forever" modify how they are spending their time. The implied verb is spending, and the adjective phrases describe the object of their "spending".
-
Loving you I wanna do
➔ Ellipsis; shortened relative clause
➔ The implied clause is "Loving you (is what) I wanna do". The sentence is missing the relative pronoun and auxiliary verb. This gives it a more emotional, raw sound.
-
いつもキミを想うよ all my time
➔ Topic marker は (wa) in Japanese, expressing what the sentence is about.
➔ In "いつもキミを想うよ all my time", the speaker uses 'wa' particle, indicates the sentence mainly focuses on the subject related to 'always thinking of you'.
