Post 4: Petrarchan Sonnet
Petrarchan Sonnet based on the song Eastside by Benny Blanco
Key: Petrarchan conventions Conceit Figurative Language
Original Lyrics:
I have adored you since my youth, my sweet.
A pure and simple love it used to be
Despite denial from your family.
Every day on the Eastside we would meet
Water in a desert is love of yore:
Always in the distance, never mine to take.
Give me a chance; your heart I will not break.
Your eyes like the stars above I ask for
Apart our lives have grown. Beneath a cage
the joys of youth turn to ash with age
I think back to being in love with you
Would not you have stayed if only you knew
The price on our love the future would lay?
Let’s meet again and this time, won’t you stay?

Original Lyrics:
Uh
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
When I was young, I fell in love
We used to hold hands, man, that was enough (yeah)
Then we grew up, started to touch
Used to kiss underneath the light on the back of the bus (yeah)
Oh no, your daddy didn't like me much
And he didn't believe me when I said you were the one
Oh, every day she found a way out of the window to sneak out late
We used to hold hands, man, that was enough (yeah)
Then we grew up, started to touch
Used to kiss underneath the light on the back of the bus (yeah)
Oh no, your daddy didn't like me much
And he didn't believe me when I said you were the one
Oh, every day she found a way out of the window to sneak out late
She used to meet me on the Eastside
In the city where the sun don't set
And every day you know that we ride
Through the backstreets of a blue Corvette
Baby, you know I just wanna leave tonight
We can go anywhere we want
Drive down to the coast, jump in the seat
Just take my hand and come with me, yeah
In the city where the sun don't set
And every day you know that we ride
Through the backstreets of a blue Corvette
Baby, you know I just wanna leave tonight
We can go anywhere we want
Drive down to the coast, jump in the seat
Just take my hand and come with me, yeah
We can do anything if we put our minds to it
Take your whole life then you put a line through it
My love is yours if you're willing to take it
Give me your heart 'cause I ain't gonna break it
So come away, starting today
Start a new life, together in a different place
We know that love is how these ideas came to be
So baby, run away, away with me
Take your whole life then you put a line through it
My love is yours if you're willing to take it
Give me your heart 'cause I ain't gonna break it
So come away, starting today
Start a new life, together in a different place
We know that love is how these ideas came to be
So baby, run away, away with me
