Grammar:

• Either you down or you ain't

  ➔ "Either... or" structure, auxiliary verb contraction

  ➔ This uses the "either... or" construction to present two mutually exclusive options. "Ain't" is a colloquial contraction of "are not" or "is not," commonly used in informal speech and song lyrics. The whole sentence implies a choice: you're either committed or you're not.

• You told me I could trust you, don't lie

  ➔ Reported speech (indirect speech) with "could", imperative negative

  ➔ "You told me I could trust you" uses reported speech to convey a past statement. "Don't lie" is a direct imperative command, using the negative form to prohibit the action.

• So much I wanna talk about

  ➔ Ellipsis (omission of "that"), informal syntax

  ➔ The "that" is omitted from "So much *that* I wanna talk about," which is common in informal spoken English. The word order is also slightly inverted for emphasis.

• But somehow it always falls through

  ➔ Phrasal verb ("fall through"), adverb of manner ("somehow")

  ➔ "Falls through" is a phrasal verb meaning to fail or not happen. "Somehow" indicates that the reason for the failure is unknown or unexplained.

• But I just wanna feel love

  ➔ Informal contraction ("wanna"), modal verb ("wanna") expressing desire.

  ➔ "Wanna" is a contraction of "want to" and is typically used in informal settings to express a desire. The use of "just" here emphasizes the simplicity of the desire.

• The more I tell you, the more you wanna know

  ➔ Comparative structure ("The more..., the more...")

  ➔ This is a common structure to show correlation between two increasing quantities. As one quantity increases (the more I tell you), the other quantity also increases (the more you wanna know).

• If I tell you, will you use it when I'm low?

  ➔ Conditional sentence (Type 1), future tense in the main clause

  ➔ This is a Type 1 conditional sentence, expressing a real possibility in the future. "If" clause describes the condition, "will" clause describes the consequence. "When I'm low" is a subordinate clause indicating a specific time when the consequence might occur.
