Grammar:

• Hiding from the rain and snow

  ➔ Present Participle as Adjective/Adverb

  ➔ The word "Hiding" is a present participle being used to describe the speaker's action or state. It implies an action that is in progress. It functions as an adverbial modifier, explaining the speaker's situation.

• Trying to forget but I won't let go

  ➔ Conjunction "but" to connect contrasting ideas.

  ➔ The conjunction "but" connects the speaker's attempt to forget with their unwillingness to let go of something (presumably a past relationship or feeling).

• Tell me where do I find someone like you girl

  ➔ Indirect Question (embedded question)

  ➔ This is an example of an indirect question. Instead of asking "Where do I find someone like you?", it is embedded within a statement: "Tell me where I do find someone like you". Note the subject-verb order change in the embedded question.

• Give me your hand before I'm old

  ➔ Conditional Clause with "before"

  ➔ The phrase "before I'm old" introduces a time constraint or condition. The request to "give me your hand" is contingent on it happening before the speaker ages.

• Show me what love is - haven't got a clue

  ➔ Ellipsis (omission of words)

  ➔ The phrase "haven't got a clue" is elliptical. The full sentence could be "I haven't got a clue". The pronoun and auxiliary verb are omitted for brevity and a more conversational tone.

• They say nothing lasts forever

  ➔ Indirect Speech/Reported Speech

  ➔ The statement "They say nothing lasts forever" reports what other people generally believe or say. It's a general truth presented as reported speech.

• Love is now or never

  ➔ Zero Conditional (with implied 'if')

  ➔ This statement implies a zero conditional situation. The implied "if" is something like: "If you want love, it has to be now, otherwise it will never happen."

• It's easy take me to your heart

  ➔ Imperative mood with ellipsis

  ➔ The sentence "It's easy take me to your heart" is a compressed and slightly grammatically incorrect way of saying "It's easy *to* take me to your heart" or more directly, the implied imperative is "Take me to your heart (because) it's easy". The word "to" is elided after 'easy'.
