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, 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 crying 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 and
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 knew
So close your eyes, escape this town for a little while
'Cause you were Juliet
I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Romeo
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go
And I said
Juliet, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll keep waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the princess, I'll be the prince and
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 and
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
Oh oh
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
Oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause 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
