Up and Down Lyrics Critique - Pop Country

by Shintya
(Indonesia)

I know I said we’re over right there on the crowd,
That day that rain the tears we shed
But I need you to know, and I’m dying for you to know that my feelings didn’t change
And everytime you look at me, i still have the butterflies
Can’t get rid of those, can’t get rid of those

You know that I’d never thought it’d be this hard
I guess both of us had fought enough
But i want you to know, that i’d die for you to know that my feelings will never change
And everytime you flashed that smile, I still have the butterflies
Can’t get rid of those, won’t get rid of those

You make me feel like
Up and down, up and down
Everytime you smile I feel like, Up and down, up and down
I really can’t take my eyes off of you
Make me smile when i hear your name
Spent sleepless nights thinking about you
Up and down



I remember the day we met, you were at the mall with your friends
Back then I was too naive to not see you staring at me
But you came with a smile, held my hand said your name, said you really wanna know me
And the next thing I know we were at the park that winter night
You had flowers on your hand, you said the words that changed my life

(chorus)
Up and down, up and down
How you put your arms around mine like
Up and down, up and down
The way you run your hands through your hair
How you always knew just what make me smile
The nights I’ve spent thinking about you
Up and down

(Bridge)
I remember you said you are the luckiest guy in the world cause you have me
Remembering you said I’m not a part of your life but I’m your life
But sometimes you gotta do what you don’t wanna do for the ones you love

(chorus)

I know I said we’re over right there on the crowd

More flow/rhytm!
by: Pontus Sinklair

I think it's a beautiful story. And i can see a red thread throughout the song. I cant seem to feel any rhytm though, and try to make the lyrics flow more.

Lyrics dont have to contain rhymes in every sentence, but some here and there is never shabby to help keeping the lyric alive!

For example, put ONE rhyme at the end and/or the beginning of each verse, like:

"But i want you to know, that i’d die for you to know that my feelings will never change"
(Switch "never change" to "always be true" and you have a lil'bit more catchy rhyme!)

To continue analyzying that sentence, try finding a substitute for any of the "know"! Reusing a word several times so close to eachother rarely sounds good.

Keep writing, but i think you need to develope your flow and rhytm though. I apologize for being so harsch, but i hope this might help your progress and give you something to think about!

Good luck!
