Grammar:

• I LOVE A FIRST CAST WHEN THE WATER'S GLASS AND THE LINE STARTS TO RUN

  ➔ Present Simple Tense, Subordinate Clause with "when"

  ➔ The "Present Simple" expresses general truths or habits. "When" introduces a subordinate clause indicating the time the speaker loves a first cast: "when" the water is glass and the line starts to run.

• I'M WRAPPED 'ROUND YOUR FINGER LIKE THIS RING I'M WEARING

  ➔ Passive Voice with "be wrapped around", Present Continuous Tense ("I'm wearing"), Simile (using "like")

  ➔ "I'm wrapped around your finger" is a passive construction, meaning the subject is being acted upon. The simile using "like" compares the speaker's control by the other person to a ring on a finger. "I'm wearing" is Present Continuous, showing an action happening now.

• THAT LOOK IN YOUR EYE, GIRL, WHEN YOU CATCH ME STARING

  ➔ Noun Clause with "that", Subordinate Clause with "when", Present Participle ("staring")

  ➔ "That look in your eye" acts as the subject. "When you catch me staring" is a subordinate clause modifying "look". "Staring" is a present participle used as a verb.

• I CAN'T IMAGINE ME LIVING WITHOUT THIS

  ➔ Gerund ("living") after preposition ("without"), modal verb "can't"

  ➔ The gerund "living" functions as the object of the preposition "without". "Can't" is a modal verb expressing inability.

• WATCHING YOU WATCH THE SUN GOING DOWN

  ➔ Present Participle ("Watching") as sentence opener, Gerund as object (sun "going" down)

  ➔ "Watching" introduces a dependent clause, acting as an adverbial modifier, describing the action. "Going down" acts as an object describing the action of the sun.

• THAT'S WHAT MY WORLD SPINS AROUND

  ➔ Cleft sentence structure with "what"

  ➔ This is a cleft sentence, focusing on what is most important. The "what" clause ("what my world spins around") acts as the subject complement, emphasizing the central element: that is what matters most to the speaker.

• WELL, I FINALLY GET IT NOW, WHEN THEY SAY YOU KNOW YOU KNOW

  ➔ Present Simple Tense, Subordinate Clause with "when", Indirect Speech

  ➔ The speaker uses the "Present Simple" for a realization that's happening now. The subordinate clause with "when" provides the context for this realization. "When they say you know you know" is an example of indirect speech, reporting what others have said.
