4. Example – Act I Inside His Head
Key Event: Romeo and Juliet finally meet
Inside His Head
I catch your eye, you’re looking at me and I spill my drink
Girl look at that body
It’s 5 o’clock in the morning, and I want ya
Until you kissed my lips, and you saved me
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
I can’t help falling in love
Forever can never be long enough for me
I’m giving you all my love
Cause I want it all, or nothing at all
We fell in love in a hopeless place
