We were both young when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts,
I'm standing there. On a balcony in summer air.
See the lights, I see the party, the ball gowns.
I see you make your way through the crowd.
You say hello, little did I know.
That you were Juliet, you were throwing pebbles,
And my daddy said stay away from romeo.
And I was lying on the staircase, begging you please don't go.
And I said Juliet take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run,
You'll be the princess, I'll be the prince
It's a love story, baby just say yes.
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'Cause we're dead if they know.
So close your eyes. Escape this town for a little while,
'Cause you were Juliet, I was scarlet letter,
And my daddy said stay away from Romeo.
But you were everything to me and I was begging you,
Please don't go.. And I said
Juliet take me somewhere we can be alone,
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run,
You'll be the princess, I'll be the prince
It's a love story, baby just say yes
Juliet take me somewhere we can be alone,
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run,
You'll be the princess, I'll be the prince
It's a love story, baby just say yes.
Well I got tired of waiting,
Wondering if you were ever coming around.
My faith in you was fading, yeah,
When I met you on the outskirts of town
and I said Juliet save me I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for you but you never come.
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think..
I knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said
"Marry me Juliet, you'll never have to be alone.
I love you and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress.
It's a love story, baby just say yes.
(Whoa, Whoa)
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you.
