Grammar:

  • Darling, you send me

    ➔ Simple Present Tense (affirmative statement)

    ➔ Subject + Verb (base form). The verb "send" is used in its base form because the subject is "you". Expresses a feeling or state that is true at the present time.

  • Honest, you do

    ➔ Emphasis using auxiliary verb 'do'

    ➔ The auxiliary verb "do" is used to emphasize the verb, making the statement more forceful. It implies a strong confirmation of the feeling.

  • At first, I thought it was infatuation

    ➔ Past Simple Tense and use of "it was" with a noun

    "I thought" is in the past simple tense, indicating a past belief. "It was infatuation" uses the past form of the verb "to be" (was) to define what the speaker initially believed the feeling to be.

  • But ooh, it's lasted so long

    ➔ Present Perfect Tense

    "It's lasted" is the contracted form of "it has lasted", using the present perfect tense. It indicates an action that started in the past and continues to the present or has a result that affects the present.

  • Now I find myself wanting to marry you

    ➔ "Find myself" + gerund (wanting) and infinitive of purpose (to marry)

    "Find myself wanting" describes an involuntary desire. The structure "find + myself + gerund" implies a discovery of a feeling or state. "To marry you" is an infinitive phrase expressing the purpose of the wanting: what the speaker wants to do.

  • Whenever I'm with you

    ➔ Subordinate clause with "whenever" (adverb of time)

    "Whenever" introduces a subordinate clause of time, indicating that the action in the main clause happens every time the condition is met.
