Grammar:

• YOU USED TO COME DOWN FOR ME

  ➔ Used to + infinitive

  ➔ Expresses a past habit or state that is no longer true. "Used to come down" indicates that the person frequently came down, but doesn't anymore.

• NOW I’M A DOG ON YOUR LEASH

  ➔ Metaphorical language/Figurative Speech

  ➔ Uses the metaphor "dog on your leash" to describe a feeling of being controlled and dependent on someone. This is not literal but conveys a strong emotional feeling.

• ARE YOUNGER AND HOTTER THAN ME

  ➔ Comparative adjective

  ➔ "Younger" and "hotter" are comparative adjectives. They are used to compare the girls at the party to the speaker. The structure is adjective + "-er" + than.

• WISH I NEVER LOVED YOU

  ➔ Past unreal conditional (Wish + past perfect)

  ➔ Expresses regret about something that happened in the past. Because of something that did or didn't do, you are sorry now. "Wish I never loved you" means that I loved you, but I now regret it.

• WE’RE NOT GETTING ANY YOUNGER

  ➔ Present continuous for emphasis/change

  ➔ The present continuous is used here not just to describe an action happening now, but to emphasize the ongoing and inevitable process of aging. It highlights a change or a process that is occurring.

• BUT YOUR GIRLFRIENDS SEEM TO

  ➔ Ellipsis (omission of words)

  ➔ This line ends with "to", which is an example of ellipsis. The full sentence would be "But your girlfriends seem to be getting younger." The words "be getting younger" are omitted because they are implied from the previous line.
