Identify the Similes"Firework"Katy Perry LyricsDo you ever feel like a plastic bagDrifting through the wind, wanting to start again?Do you ever feel, feel so paper thinLike a house of cards, one blow from caving in?

Do you ever feel already buried deep six feet under?Scream but no one seems to hear a thingDo you know that there's still a chance for you'Cause there's a spark in you?

You just gotta ignite the light and let it shineJust own the night like the 4th of July

"Stereo Hearts”(feat. Adam Levine)

My heart's a stereo, it beats for you, so listen closeHear my thoughts in every noteMake me your radioAnd turn me up when you feel lowThis melody was meant for youJust sing along to my stereo
