Hyperbole Something’s gotta give now 'Cause I'm dying just to know your name And I need you here with me now 'Cause you've got that one thing “’Cause I’m dying just to know your name” is a hyperbole because you can’t literally die from not knowing someone’s name.

Alliteration Something’s gotta give now 'Cause I’m dying just to make you see That I need you here with me now 'Cause you've got that one thing The repetition of the “n” sound in the words “need” and “now” create alliteration.
