Hey, I was doing just fine before I met you
I drink too much and that's an issue but I'm okay
Hey, you tell your friends it was nice to meet them
But I hope I never see them again
I know it breaks your heart
Moved to the city in a broke down car
And four years, no calls
Now you're looking pretty in a hotel bar
And I can't stop
No, I can't stop
So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
This is an example of the use of hyperbole because saying that you will not get older is extreme exaggeration.
You look as good as the day I met you
I forget just why I left you, I was insane
Stay and play that Blink-182 song
That we beat to death in Tuscon, okay
This shows personification because it is giving human characteristics to a song, saying that they "beat to death" the song, meaning played it a lot.
I know it breaks your heart
Moved to the city in a broke down car
And four years, no call
Now I'm looking pretty in a hotel bar
And I can't stop
No, I can't stop
So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older (we ain't ever getting older)
We ain't ever getting older (we ain't ever getting older)
We ain't ever getting older (we ain't ever getting older)
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
No we ain't ever getting older

Tonight we are victorious
Champagne pouring over us
All my friends were glorious
Tonight we are victorious
Oh oh oh oh, victorious
Oh oh oh oh
Double bubble disco queen headed to the guillotine
Skin as cool as Steve McQueen, let me be your killer king
It hurts until it stops, we will love until it’s not
I’m a killing spree in white, eyes like broken Christmas lights
My touch is black and poisonousx
And nothing like my punch drunk kiss
I know you need it, do you feel it
Drink the water, drink the wine
Oh we gotta turn up the crazy
Livin’ like a washed up celebrity
Shooting fireworks like it’s the Fourth of July this example of imagery creates an image of how this group of friends are shooting fireworks as if it was the fourth of July.
Until we feel alright
Until we feel alright
I’m like a scarf trick, it’s all up the sleeve
This is a simile because is it using the comparison of two unlike things by using the word "like" to say that he is like a scarf trick.
I taste like magic, waves that swallow quick and deep
This shows imagery because it creates a visual of the fourth of July fireworks in the mind of the reader or person listening to the song.
Throw the bait, catch the shark, bleed the water red
Fifty words for murder and I’m every one of them
My touch is black and poisonous
And nothing like my punch drunk kiss
I know you need it, do you feel it
Drink the water, drink the wine
Oh we gotta turn up the crazy
Livin’ like a washed up celebrity
Shooting fireworks like it’s the Fourth of July
Tonight we are victorious
Champagne pouring over us
All my friends were glorious
Tonight we are victorious
Tonight we are victorious
Champagne pouring over us
All my friends were glorious
Tonight we are victorious
Oh we gotta turn up the crazy
Livin’ like a washed up celebrity
Shooting fireworks like it’s the Fourth of July
Until we feel alright
Until we feel alright
Tonight we are victorious
Champagne pouring over us
All my friends were glorious
Tonight we are victorious
This is the song "don't let me down" by the Chainsmokers.

Crashing, hit a wall
Right now I need a miracle
Hurry up now, I need a miracle
Stranded, reaching out
I call your name but you're not around
This helps create imagery because it helps the reader create a visual image in their minds of someone who is standing alone calling out for someone.
I say your name but you're not around
I need you, I need you, I need you right now
Yeah, I need you right now
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
I think I'm losing my mind now
It's in my head, darling I hope
That you'll be here, when I need you the most
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
D-Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down, down, down
Don't let me down, don't let me down, down, down
Running out of time
I really thought you were on my side
But now there's nobody by my side
I need you, I need you, I need you right now
Yeah, I need you right now
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
I think I'm losing my mind now
It's in my head, darling I hope
That you'll be here, when I need you the most
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
D-Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down, down, down
Don't let me down, down, down
Don't let me down, down, down
Don't let me down, don't let me down, down, down
Oh, I think I'm losing my mind now, yeah, yeah, yeah
This is an example of a hyperbole, because you cannot physically lose your mind. Therefore it is an extreme exaggeration.
Oh, I think I'm losing my mind now, yeah, yeah
I need you, I need you, I need you right now
Yeah, I need you right now
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
I think I'm losing my mind now
It's in my head, darling I hope
That you'll be here, when I need you the most
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
Don't let me down
Yeah, don't let me down
Yeah, don't let me down
Don't let me down, oh no
Said don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down (down, down, down)
Don't let me down, down, down
