We were both young when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts.
I'm standin' there.
On a balcony in summer air.
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.
See you make your way through the crowd.
And say, 'Hello'.
Little did I know.
That you were Romeo, you were throwin' pebbles.
And my daddy said, 'Stay away from Juliet'.
And I was cryin' on the staircase.
Beggin' you, 'Please don't go,' and I said.
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.
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, oh oh.
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter.
But you were everything to me.
I was beggin' you, 'Please don't go,' and I said.
Romeo, save me, they're tryna tell me how to feel.
This love is difficult, but it's real.
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess.
Oh, oh.
I got tired of waiting.
Wonderin' if you were ever comin' around.
My faith in you was fading.
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said.
Romeo, 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.
He 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.
Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you.
