Closer
The Chainsmokers
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
(Chorus*) So, baby pull me closer in the backseat of your rover ****
That I know you can't afford
like that tattoo on your shoulder they’re comparing what they can’t afford to their tattoo
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
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
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
Chorus*
We ain't ever getting older (we ain't ever getting older) (x3)
We ain't ever getting older (x2) **

*/** This is a hyperbole because you can't move at all in a broken car/ you can't stay young forever. They're trying to express that they feel young having fun. *** This is an example of a simile because they're comparing how the person looks the first time they met, which was good. **** This is a good example of imagery because it helps us visualize someone being pulled in the backseat of someone else's rover.
Firework
Katy Perry
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind
Wanting to start again *
Do you ever feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in
Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under screams
But no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you
(Chorus*) You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the fourth of July
'Cause baby you're a firework **
Come and show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby you're a firework
Come and let your colors burst
Make 'em go "oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em falling down down down
You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe a reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it's time, you'll know
(Chorus*)
Baby you're a firework
Come and let your colors burst
Make 'em go "oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe-awe-awe
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
And it's always been inside of you you you
And now it's time to let it through
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come and show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby you're a firework
Come and let your colors burst
Make 'em go "oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe awe awe

* This is an example of a simile because it's comparing you to a plastic bag that's just floating through the wind and saying how sometimes you can feel like you're worth nothing. ** This is a metaphor because it's making a direct comparison to yourself and a firework. They are trying to express that sometimes you can surprise yourself and all you might need is a little jump start.
Best Day of My Life
American Authors
I had a dream so big and loud
I jumped so high I touched the clouds *
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, wo-o-o-o-o-oh
I stretched my hands out to the sky **
We danced with monsters through the night ***
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, wo-o-o-o-o-oh
I'm never gonna look back
Woah, never gonna give it up
No, please don't wake me now
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ife
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ife
I howled at the moon with friends
And then the sun came crashing in
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, wo-o-o-o-o-oh
But all the possibilities
No limits just epiphanies
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, wo-o-o-o-o-oh
I'm never gonna look back
Woah, never gonna give it up
No, just don't wake me now
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ife
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ife
I hear it calling outside my window
I feel it in my soul (soul)
The stars were burning so bright
The sun was out 'til midnight ****
I say we lose control (control)
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ife
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ife
This is gonna be, this is gonna be, this is gonna be
The best day of my life
Everything is looking up, everybody up now
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ife
* This is a hyperbole because you can't actually jump and touch the clouds. It's just showing their excitement of their dreams. **(*) These are also a hyperboles because you can't actually stretch your hands to the sun or dance with monsters. **** The sun doesn't stay out until midnight, they're just trying to explain that it felt like it because they were having the "best day of their life."

CHEERLEADING
Cradles that touch the sky *
Having our smiles as big as the world on **
Entertaining the crowd with our stunt routines
Extensions that take your breath away
Raucous laughter and great times at team dinners
Leapfrogs that catch the fans eyes
Endless jam sessions with the girls on the road to the games
Adding spirit to football and basketball games
Diving face first on the occasions you're dropped
Individuals coming together to build a stunt house
Nights where we stay up to practice for our pep rallies
Getting repetitive cheers stuck in everyone's head :)
* This is a hyperbole because you don't really touch the sky I'm just trying to express that you get thrown really high up. ** This is an example of a simile because it is comparing our smiles to world trying to tell how our smiles are big in front of the crowd.
