Grammar:

• I could go and read your mind

  ➔ Modal verb 'could' + infinitive without 'to'

  ➔ 'Could' expresses possibility or a conditional action. The structure 'could + verb' indicates a potential ability or action that might occur.

• Wait, I think I've been there too, ooh

  ➔ Present Perfect Simple ('have been')

  ➔ The present perfect ('have been') indicates an experience that has occurred at some point in the speaker's life. The word "too" indicates that this is a shared experience.

• What'd she do to get you off?

  ➔ Shortened form of 'What did' + 'to' infinitive for purpose

  ➔ 'What'd' is a contraction of 'What did'. The phrase 'to get you off' uses the 'to' infinitive to express the purpose or reason for the action.

• I'm sorry she's missing it, sad, sad boy

  ➔ Present Continuous indicating something happening now

  ➔ The present continuous tense, 'she's missing it,' describes an action happening at the moment of speaking. It suggests the boy is currently lacking something.

• Not my business, but I had to warn ya

  ➔ Past simple 'had to' (obligation in the past)

  ➔ 'Had to' expresses a past obligation or necessity. The speaker felt compelled to warn the other person.

• Made it out alive, but I think I lost it

  ➔ Past Simple, 'Made', and 'lost' + 'but' conjunction connecting contrasting ideas.

  ➔ The past simple 'made' and 'lost' indicate completed actions in the past. 'But' introduces a contrast between surviving a situation and losing something (possibly sanity or composure).

• Remember how I died when you started walking?

  ➔ Indirect question ('how I died') within a question + Past Simple.

  ➔ The structure 'Remember how...' introduces an indirect question. It rephrases a direct question (e.g., 'How did I die?') into part of a larger question. The Past Simple, 'died' and 'started', indicates events that occurred in the past.

• Don't you know the vibe? Don't you know the feeling?

  ➔ Negative interrogative with 'Don't you know' + noun (vibe/feeling)

  ➔ Negative interrogatives can express surprise, disbelief, or a rhetorical question. 'Don't you know' is followed by a noun to inquire whether the listener is aware of something.
