Grammar:

• DO YOU EVER WONDER WHATEVER HAPPENED WAY BACK WHEN

  ➔ Indirect Question with "Wonder" and Past Simple

  ➔ This line uses an indirect question structure. "Do you ever wonder" introduces a question that is embedded within the main clause. "Whatever happened" uses the past simple to describe an event that occurred "way back when". The phrase "way back when" is an informal way of referring to a distant time in the past.

• MAYBE IF YOU EVER WONDER, AW, YOU MIGHT WISH THINGS COULD CHANGE

  ➔ Conditional Sentences (Mixed Type)

  ➔ This line hints at a mixed conditional. The implicit structure is: "If you ever wonder, you might wish things could change." It blends a hypothetical present action ("wonder") with a possible future consequence ("wish things could change"). "Could" indicates a polite or less definite wish/possibility.

• I KNOW WHAT I WANT TO DO

  ➔ Noun Clause as Object

  ➔ "What I want to do" is a noun clause functioning as the object of the verb "know". It acts as a single noun entity within the sentence.

• IT’S MAKING ME LOSE MY MIND

  ➔ Causative "make" + bare infinitive

  ➔ "Make" is used as a causative verb, indicating that something is causing someone (me) to perform an action (lose my mind). The bare infinitive "lose" is used after "make".

• I THOUGHT ABOUT THINKING IT THROUGH

  ➔ Gerund after Preposition/Verb

  ➔ The verb "thought about" is followed by the gerund "thinking". Gerunds function as nouns, here serving as the object of the preposition "about". The structure shows the speaker considered the action of "thinking it through".

• AND EVERY TIME I DO I FIND

  ➔ Ellipsis/Omission

  ➔ There is an ellipsis of the repeated verb phrase, likely "think it through". The full sentence would be something like "And every time I do [think it through] I find..."

• YOU ARE THE AIR I’M BREATHING GIRL

  ➔ Relative Clause with omitted Relative Pronoun

  ➔ "I'm breathing" is a relative clause modifying "air". The relative pronoun "that" or "which" has been omitted: "You are the air (that/which) I'm breathing, girl."

• YOU ARE THE REASONS THAT I AM

  ➔ Relative Clause with "that" as Subject Complement

  ➔ "That I am" is a relative clause where "that" relates back to "reasons". While "that" often introduces relative clauses as the subject or object, here it acts more like a subject complement, further defining the nature of the 'reasons'. It can be a bit philosophical, implying the speaker's very existence or being is defined by the other person.
