Callin' it quits now.
➔ Gerundio usado como verbo: "Callin'" (calling)
➔ La forma "-ing" del verbo "call" se usa informalmente, omitiendo la "g" en el habla y las letras. Es un participio presente usado para crear un tiempo continuo. "Call it quits" es un modismo que significa terminar algo.
-
Thinkin' in a bad way, losin' your grip
➔ Elipsis y lenguaje informal: Omisión de "you're" antes de "Thinkin'" y "losin'"
➔ En el habla informal y especialmente en las letras de canciones, el verbo auxiliar "you're" puede omitirse por brevedad y para mantener el ritmo. "Losin' your grip" significa perder el control.

She wanna ride me like a cruise
➔ Contracción informal: "wanna" por "want to". Símil usando "like".

Unless I stuck by ya, you're the sunflower
➔ Cláusula condicional: "Unless" + pasado simple ("stuck") implicando una situación hipotética en el pasado y tiempo presente para describir a alguien.
➔ "Unless" introduce una condición que debe ser falsa para que la cláusula principal sea verdadera. "Stuck by ya" (stuck by you) significa se mantuvo leal a ti. Aquí significa que si el hablante no se hubiera mantenido leal, la persona no sería considerada el girasol.
-
Wish I could be there for you
➔ Modo subjuntivo: "Wish" + subjuntivo pasado ("could") expresando un deseo por algo que es improbable o imposible.
➔ El subjuntivo pasado "could be" después de "wish" indica que el hablante desea estar allí para la persona, pero las circunstancias le impiden hacerlo. Destaca una sensación de arrepentimiento o anhelo.
-
I can hear you tellin' me to turn around
➔ Verbo de percepción + infinitivo sin "to": "hear" + objeto ("you") + forma base del verbo ("tell"). Oración imperativa: "turn around".
➔ Después de verbos de percepción como "hear", "see", "feel", la forma infinitiva del verbo se usa sin "to". "Tellin'" es una forma informal de decir "telling". "Turn around" es un imperativo, una orden directa.
