1.  INT. DARK 
Relaxed feel, then cutting straight into a medium shot of the actor lip syncing to the song.
A tornado flew around my room before you came
Excuse the mess is made, it usually doesn't rain in Southern California, much like Arizona
My eyes don't shed tears, but, boy they brawl
[0:00-0:20]

   2  EXT. FIELD, AFTERNOON.
Chorus begins, tracking mid shot of the artist walking along the path in a field, preferably in the rain.
When I'm thinkin' 'bout you
I've been thinkin' 'bout you
I've been thinkin' 'bout you
Do you think about me still?
Do ya, Do ya?
[0:20-00:33]

   3 INT. DARK STAGE.
Close up of artist on stage, with only his face visible through spotlight. 
Or do you not think so far?
'Cause I been thinkin' 'bout forever
Or do you not think so far ahead?
'Cause I been thinkin' 'bout forever
[00:33-0:57]
No narration
No FX
   4  INT. DARK STAGE.
Mid shot of the actor with blue spotlights surrounding him.
No, I don't like you, I just thought you were cool enough to kick it
Got a beach house I could sell you in Idaho
Since you think I don't love you, I just thought you were cute
That's why I kiss you
Got a fighter jet, I don't get to fly it, though 
[1:01-1:16]

   5  INT. DARK STAGE.
Mid shot of actor while he is lip syncing to the song.
I'm lyin' down thinkin' bout you
I've been thinkin' 'bout you
I've been thinkin' 'bout you
Do you think about me still?
Do ya, Do ya?
[1:16-1:30]

   6  EXT. FIELD. AFTERNOON.
Medium shot of actor sat on a bench in a park. 
Or do you not think so far ahead?
'Cause I been thinkin' 'bout forever
Or do you not think so far ahead?
'Cause I been thinkin' 'bout forever
[1:30-1:54]

   7  INT. DARK STAGE.
         Mid shot Red spotlight lighting his face while lip syncing along.
Yes, of course 
I remember, how could I forget?
How you feel?
And though you were my first time
A new feel
It won't ever get old, not in my soul
Not in my spirit, keep it alive
We'll go down this road
Till it turns from color to black and white
[1:58-2:26]
No narration
No FX
        8. INT. DARK STAGE.
        Mid shot of actor lip syncing
Or do you not think so far ahead?
'Cause I been thinkin' 'bout forever
Or do you not think so far ahead?
'Cause I been thinkin' 'bout forever
[2:26-3:03]
