We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes, the flashback starts
I'm standing there, on the 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

I was Romeo, I was throwing pebbles
Your dad said "stay away from Juliet"
You were crying on the staircase
Begging me "please don't go"

And she said

"Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run"
I'll be the prince and you'll be the princess
It's a love story baby, just say yes

I got tired of waiting wondering
if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
when I met you on the outskirts of town

I will save you, you'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
(really know)
I talked to your dad go pick out a white dress
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes

Oh no oh, yeah

We were both young when I first saw you
