Grammar:

• Are you gonna ride with me?

  ➔ Future tense with "gonna"

  ➔ "Gonna" is a colloquial contraction of "going to," used to express future intentions or predictions. In this case, it's asking if the person is planning to support and be with the speaker.

• Hold me down, will you listen

  ➔ Tag question (will you?)

  ➔ A tag question is a short question added to the end of a statement to ask for confirmation or agreement. "Will you" is used here to seek reassurance that the person will listen.

• Will you keep me safe when I'm in your arms?

  ➔ Future tense with "will" + conditional clause with "when"

  ➔ This sentence expresses a condition and its result. The future tense ("will keep") indicates the speaker's hope, while the "when" clause sets the condition. The speaker is asking for a promise of future safety during a specific situation.

• Cause it feels so good

  ➔ Subordinating conjunction "cause" (informal) + adjective after linking verb

  ➔ "Cause" is a shortened, informal version of "because." "Feels" is a linking verb, connecting the subject "it" to the adjective "good." It expresses a reason or explanation for a feeling.

• Don't waste time

  ➔ Imperative sentence (negative)

  ➔ This is a direct command or instruction not to spend time unwisely. The use of "Don't" makes it a negative imperative.

• You said you love the way I notice how you look into my eyes

  ➔ Reported speech (indirect speech) + relative clause (the way)

  ➔ This sentence reports what someone said previously. "The way I notice how you look into my eyes" is a relative clause modifying "way". The speaker loves a specific characteristic or habit.

• Right before we cross the line

  ➔ Prepositional phrase of time + "before" + present simple tense

  ➔ "Right before" is a preposition indicating timing. The present simple tense "cross" is used in the time clause following "before", even though it refers to a future action. This is a common grammatical structure.
