Lien le Storm

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
And say hello, little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging 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

‘Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don’t go and I said

Romeo save me, they try to 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
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 is 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

A love struck Romeo, sings in the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low, with a love song that he played
Finds a street light, steps out of the shade
Says something like, “You and me babe, how about it?”

But Juliet says, “Hey it’s Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack”
He’s underneath the window, she’s singing, ‘Hey la, my boyfriend’s back
You shouldn’t come around here, singing up at people like that
Anyway, what you gonna do about it?

But Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start,
And I bet, that you exploded in my heart,
And there’s a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

They come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame,
Both dirty, both clean, and the dream was just the same,
And I dreamed your dream for you, and now your dream is real
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?

When you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin, yeah
Now you just say, “Oh Romeo, yeah, I used to have a scene with him”

Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said “I love you like the stars above, I’ll love you till I die”
There’s a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?
