Love Story
.Taylor Swift Lyrics

We were both young when I first saw you
Our love story began when we were young and naive, just starting to experience life and the joys and pains of falling in love.

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
I reminisce about the first time I saw you on that beautiful summer night, when you walked toward me, dressed in fancy ball gowns, and uttered the word "Hello" to me, which was the start of our epic love tale that I had no idea would unfold.

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
My father forbade me from seeing you, as if you were the fictional character Romeo who was also forbidden from seeing Juliet. I was sad and desperate to convince you not to leave me, even if it meant going against my father's wishes.

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"
I want to be with you, away from the restrictions imposed by our families and society, so let's escape together and be each other's prince and princess. Our story is a beautiful love tale, so just say "yes" and let's continue this journey together.

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
We sneak out in secret to meet in the garden, afraid of the consequences if we're caught. Let's just forget about everything and focus on each other for a little while, as we escape the confinements of this town and fall deeper in love.

'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 beggin' you, "Please don't go," and I said
You were seen as a bad influence (like the adulterous character Hester Prynne in Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter), and my father disapproved of our relationship. But you meant everything to me, and I begged you not to leave me behind.

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" 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 It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes" Oh, oh
Once again, I ask you to take me away to a place where we can be alone and be free from everyone else's opinions about our love. Our relationship is challenging, but it's genuine, and I know we can overcome any obstacles together. All you have to do is say "yes" and take my hand.

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
I became impatient and started losing hope that you would ever come back to me. But when I met you again on the outskirts of town, my heart swelled with hope and love, and I begged you to take me away with you.

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 It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes" Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh
I felt lonely and forsaken, and I wondered if our love was real or just a figment of my imagination. But then you surprised me by proposing with a ring and professing your undying love for me. You even spoke to my father and arranged for us to get married, so all I have to do is say "yes" and we'll live happily ever after.

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
Our story began when we were young and innocent and immediately drawn to each other, during a time when hope and possibility seemed endless.
