Wouldn't You Like to Be a Poet Too?

A Year Without Rain lyrics by Selena Gomez
Oooooooooooh

Can you feel me
When I think about you
With every breath I take
Every minute
No matter what I do
My world is an empty place

Like I've been wondering the desert
For a thousand days ( ohhoh )
Don't know if it's a mirage
But I always see your face, baby

I'm missing you so much
Can't help it, I'm in love
A day without you is like a year without rain
I need you by my side
Don't know how I'll survive
A day without you is like a year without rain
Ohhohoh, Woooaaahh woaahh

The stars are burning
I hear your voice in my mind ( it's in my mind )
Can't you hear me calling
My heart is yearning
Like the ocean that's running dry
Catch me I'm falling

It's like the ground is crumbling underneath my feet
Won't you save me
There's gonna be a monsoon
When you get back to me
Ohhhh baby

I'm missing you so much
Can't help it, I'm in love (love)
A day without you is like a year without rain
I need you by my side (side)
Don't know how I'll survive
A day without you is like a year without rain
Ohhohoh, Woooaaahh woaahh

So let this drought come to an end
And may this desert flower again
And I need you here
I can't explain
But a day without you
Is like a year without rain
Ohhohoh

I'm missing you so much (much)
Can't help it, I'm in love
A day without you is like a year without rain
I need you by my side (side)
Don't know how I'll survive
A day without you is like a year without rain
Ohhohoh, Woooaaahh woaahh
Ooohh, Ooooooooouuhh

1. The speaker is Selena Gomez herself, She's speaking about herself, She's talking to the audience.
2. The setting of the song is in the middle of a desert, it takes place in the afternoon.
3. The central purpose of the song is for Selena to let out her feelings, about how she's feling at that moment, how being in love has changed her life. I think the lyrics give a vivid impression" A day without you is like a year without rain, I need you by my side, Don't know how I'll survive".
4. The central theme of this song is romance, the lyrics explain how deeply in love the speaker is.
5. I think the tone of the song is depressed " My heart is yearning, like the ocean that's running dry, catch me I'm falling" .
6. "The stars are burning, It's like the ground is crumbling underneath my feet". I find these two lines to be really effective because they describe how the speaker feels about her love. The lyrics show how she feels living without her love. " It's like the ground is crumbling underneath my feet". This line deeply describes how depressed she is each day without her love.
7.  "So let this drought come to an end, And may this desert flower again". These two lines are examples of imagery because the speaker is comparing the drought to her seperation for the one she loves so dearly. " And may this desert flower again". Shes comparing the desert to her heart how it will bloom with love again.
8. These song lyrics speak to me because they form an image that describes how the speaker is feeling.What makes this song powerful is the imagery that is used to connect her audience to her lyrics. She compares her love with A Year Without Rain.
