Her Anatomy

A lyrical take on the anatomy of a relationship...

Exposition.
I think I’ll start a new life. I think I’ll start it over where no one knows my name…I think that I’m just tired. I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind. I think I need a sunrise, I’m tired of the sunset. (“Boston” - Augustana)

Rising Action.
Just when I think I’m under control, I think I finally got a grip, another friend tells me that my name is always on your lips. They say I’m more than just a friend, they say I must be blind. Well, I admit that I’ve seen you watch me from the corner of your eye. Oh, it’s so confusing, I wish you’d just confess. But think of what I’d be losing if your answer wasn’t yes. (“So Complicated” – Carolyn Dawn Johnson)

Climax.
Say that you’ll stay forever and a day in the time of my life ‘cause I need more time. Yes, I need more time just to make things right. Damn my situation and the games I have to play with all the things caught in my mind. (“Don’t Go Away” – Oasis)

Falling Action.
I’m reaching for the phone to call at 7:03, and on your machine, I slur a plea for you to come home but I know it’s too late. I should have given you a reason to stay. This is fact, not fiction, for the first time in years. (“A Lack of Color” – Death Cab for Cutie)

Resolution.
It hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time. I want what’s yours and I want what’s mine, but I’m not giving in this time. Goodbye to you, goodbye to everything I thought I knew. You were the one I loved, the one true thing I tried to hold on to. (“Goodbye to You” – Michelle Branch)
