Romeo
Bryce Xavier Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We′ve been up all night 'til four or five, sunrise
But we don′t wanna sleep yet
'Cause I know we found magic
We only keep if we keep it a secret
If I bite my tongue, can you read my mind?
Do you know I don't wanna leave yet?
But we can′t let ′em see it
Time keeps slipping, slipping
I'll keep giving, giving my whole heart to you

′Cause everybody wants somebody
Want your body on my body
Know we shouldn't be together
So I′m scared you'll leave me all alone
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) you′re my Romeo
So hold me close, we'll take it slow
Nobody ever has to know we shouldn't be together
So I′m scared you′ll leave me all alone
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) you're my Romeo

It′s so forbidden, we're beautifully tragic
They call it different, they don′t understand it
But what's the worst that could happen?
Living how we imagine?
Can we make outside this dream? (Can we make outside this dream?)

′Cause everybody wants somebody
Want your body on my body
Know we shouldn't be together
So I'm scared you′ll leave me all alone
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) you′re my Romeo
So hold me close, we'll take it slow
Nobody ever has to know we shouldn′t be together
So I'm scared you′ll leave me all alone
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) you're my Romeo

I prayed to the gods for you
Yeah, I prayed to the gods for you
So don′t hold back
You're the only star of my only truth
Good heart, yeah, you're living proof
Hope you know that
When the odds were against us two
Threw every doubt to the moon
So don′t look back, no white flags
′Cause there never was a story more heroic
Than a man and his Romeo

'Cause everybody wants somebody
Want your body on my body
Know we shouldn′t be together
So I'm scared you′ll leave me all alone
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) you're my Romeo
So hold me close, we′ll take it slow
Nobody ever has to know we shouldn't be together
So I'm scared you′ll leave me all alone




(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, I want you so)
You′re my Romeo
