Hyperbole

The following song shows a good example of hyperbole:

A Thousand Miles ~ Vanessa Carlton
While this song does not have a lot of examples of hyperbole, the main idea of the song is one. Throughout the song, Vanessa repeats that she would "walk a thousand miles." This is an exaggeration, because it is not possible to walk a thousand miles, especially in one night ("tonight"). Another hyperbole that is used "fall into the sky." It is also not possible to fall into the sky.
