Planning - Timeline (With Lyrics)

One of the most important things in a good music video narrative is ensuring that the tempo and the beat matches the song, and also that the story matches the underlying meaning of the lyrics. In order to start getting my head around which parts of my piece will be performance and which will be narrative I listened to the song and noted how long each verse took, and the lyrics. I think this will be invaluable when storyboarding, and will also give me a rough idea of how much narrative / performance I'm going to use.

Verse 1: 0.00 - 0.18
You've got a nerve, giving me the cold shoulder
Giving me the twice over, that's not deserved.
And we'll talk, again when you're sober
You say that I've gone cold and our heat is gone.

Verse 2: 0.18 - 0.34
I wanna be your eyes so you can see
What you've done
I wanna be your ears so you can hear
Everything that's been missing

Chorus A: 0.35 - 0.49
Finders keepers, will you keep me in mind?
I like secrets, 'cause they keep in line
Old habits die hard,
But I'm too young to die.

Verse 3: 0.50 - 1.07
I guess it's a mess
If you make your bed,
So why are we still laying in it?
And I could barely sleep
I could barely eat
And it's been 3 whole weeks
Since I heard you speak

Verse 4: 1.07 - 1.22
So hard to take
That 18 months was built to break
Oh, I love mistakes
Especially ones you've made (I'll bet you're sorry)

Chorus A: 1.23 - 1.36

Chorus B: 1.38 - 1.52
Finders keepers, the whole thing is a lie
You won't find her,
'Cause she's too hard to find
Take my advice, and boy, run a mile.

Verse 5: 1.53 - 2.23
And have another drink
And then think this one over
You dig yourself a grave everyday that you're sober
Do you see what I mean?
Have your best interest written all over me
I could never be what you need.

Chorus A: 2.26 - 2.41

Chorus B: 2.41 - 2.55

Exterlude (Sung): 2.57 - End
And I bet, you guess me right (you guessed me, yes, you guessed me right)
I bet you guess me right.
