Key Grammar Structures

• I jump the line

  ➔ Simple Present

  ➔ The verb "jump" is in the simple present tense, indicating a habitual or general action.

• And you're always waiting for me

  ➔ Present Continuous with adverb of frequency

  ➔ The form "are waiting" is present continuous, showing an ongoing action, while "always" is an adverb of frequency.

• I'm chemical, just getting started

  ➔ Present Continuous (gerund) after "just"

  ➔ The phrase "getting started" uses the gerund form after "just" to indicate an action that has just begun.

• Get low, low, low, it's all that you wanted

  ➔ Imperative sentence + Present Perfect (you wanted)

  ➔ "Get" is an imperative urging the listener to lower themselves; "you wanted" is the past simple used as a perfect‑like reference to a previous desire.

• You got what you wanted, don't you know? that

  ➔ Past Simple + Tag question (don't you know?)

  ➔ "You got" is past simple meaning "you obtained"; the tag "don't you know?" seeks agreement or confirmation.

• Don't waste my time

  ➔ Negative Imperative

  ➔ "Don't" + base verb forms a negative command, telling someone not to waste the speaker's time.

• Follow me now or never

  ➔ Imperative + Coordinating conjunction "or"

  ➔ "Follow" is an imperative verb; "or" links two alternatives – act now, or never do it.

• Just close your eyes

  ➔ Imperative with adverb "just"

  ➔ "Just" softens the command, making it sound like a gentle request: "Close your eyes".

• You can't get enough of me

  ➔ Modal verb "can" in negative form + infinitive

  ➔ "Can't" is the negative of the modal "can"; it is followed by the base verb "get" to express inability.

• Don't know how it started

  ➔ Elliptical clause (subject omitted) + Simple Past

  ➔ The subject "I" is omitted, a common lyrical device; "started" is simple past, referring to a past event.
