Lyrics Breakdown

1. Intro - 4 seconds
So at my show on Monday
I was hoping someday
You'd be on your way to better things
It's not about your make-up
Or how you try to shape up
To these tiresome paper dreams
Paper dreams, honey
So now you pour your heart out - 1 second
You're telling me you're far out
You're not about to lie down for your cause
But you don't pull my strings
'Cos I'm a better man
Moving on to better things

Well uh oh, oh I love her because she moves in her own way
Well uh oh, oh she came to my show just to hear about my day
(3 seconds)
And at the show on Tuesday
She was in her mindset
Tempered furs and spangled boots
Looks are deceiving
Make me believe it
And these tiresome paper dreams
Paper dreams, honey
Yeah
So wont you go far
Tell me you're a keeper
Not about to lie down for your cause
And you don't pull my strings
'Cos I'm a better man
Moving on to better things
Well oh oh, oh I love her because she moves in her own way
Well oh oh, oh she came to my show just to hear about my day
yes I wish that we never made it
Through all the summers
They're keeping us instead of
Kicking us back
Down through the suburbs
yes I wish that we never made it
Through all the summers
They're keeping us instead of
Kicking us back
Down through the suburbs
But uh oh, I love her because she moves in her own way
But uh oh, she came to my show just to hear about my day
But uh oh, oh I love her because she moves in her own way
But uh oh, oh she came to my show just to hear about my day

During the intro of the song the camera shows a pickup truck driving
down a country road that is unpaved, the camera will at a low angle and
will show dust coming from the vehicle. At the start of the first verse the
camera will show a POV of both the man and woman whilst they are
driving.
When these lyrics are being sung then it will show the man and woman
sat next to each other in the car gazing into each other’s eyes.
At this section of the song, the camera will show a close up to the
woman who is laughing and then smiling back at the man.
This section of the song is the most upbeat style throughout the song,
therefore the camera will show lots of quick shots and cuts showing a
montage of the couple laughing and generally messing around and having
fun.
At this verse this section of the song, will be the same as the previous time
this verse has been sung therefore the camera will show a close up to the
woman who is laughing and then smiling back at the man.
This is when the memories start to fade and then he begins to
remember why they have broken up in the first place, this verse begins to
slow down the whole tempo of the song and the overall mood.
Because this is the last verse before the song finishes and it is sung a lot
slower the my shots will reflect this mood therefore I will have lots of long
extended shots of the couple gazing into others eyes, this will overall
portray the overall meaning of the song which is the man misses the
woman and this will be shown through various different shots
