1. "Maybe I've been goin' back too much lately
when time stood still and I had you"
2. "I know that we could work it out somehow
But if this was a movie you'd be here by now."
3. "Locked up in your arms and our friends were laughing
'Cause nothing like this ever happened to them."There are also similies in this song. Here are a couple examples:
1. "Sounded like footsteps on my stairs"
2. "Come back, come back, come back to me like
You would, you would if this was a movie"3. "Come back, come back, come back to me like
You could, you could if you just said sorry"4. "And I say come back, come back, come back to me like
You would before you said it's not that easy"There is repetition in the beginning of the chorus, but part of it changes everytime (its a pattern). You can pull up the lyrics if you would like, but it just switches from "if this was a movie" and "if you just said your sorry". There is also repitition in the bridge, "If you're out there, if you're somewhere, if you're moving on". This repetition makes it sound well whenever you say it.
There is also assonance:
1. "Last night I heard my own heart beating"
Consonance:
1. "Sounded like footsteps on my stairs"
2. "Thinkin' 'bout everythin' we've been through"
3. "When time stood still and I had you"
I love this song! I never realized the consonance throughout the song. You did a great job annotating it.
ReplyDeleteMelissa, I don't see caesura in the lines you point out. They are a little enjambed, but not dramatically so. Work on developing your analysis - it should be more than a list of things you notice. Bring your observations together into an interpretation.
