I'm Ready
Dear Juliet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The view from the top floor
The moon shinning through
All the leaves in the trees
I lean close and whisper,
Can we stay here forever
Out here in your back yard just us
And the autumn breeze
For the first time I feel like I'm at a loss for words
There's nothing left to do but move forward
I'm finally ready for something good
I don't know if you've noticed
But I'm trying not to show that
I'm scared that one day
I might wake up and realize that you are not there.
For the first time I feel like I'm at a loss for words
There's nothing left to do but move forward
I'm finally ready for something good
The opening lines, "We sit in your tree house, The view from the top floor", sets the ambiance of the song. The singer is with someone special, in the comfort of her own backyard, enjoying the natural beauty surrounding them. The lines further describe the autumn breeze, leaves falling, and the moon shining through the tree leaves. The singers whisper to each other, asking if they can stay there forever.
The following lines explain how the singer has been holding back, trying not to show how scared she is that she might lose the person she is with. She admits she is at a loss for words but has finally come to the realization that she is ready to move forward with this person, she's ready for something good.
The song appears to be about someone who has had a hard time trusting people and has had their guard up for a long time. They are finally ready to take a risk and let someone in, to open up, and to be vulnerable. They want to forget their past fears and move forward with that person. They acknowledge that there is a chance they might get hurt or disappointed, but they are willing to take that risk.

We sit in your tree house
We are together in a tree house, enjoying our company
The view from the top floor
We enjoy the beautiful scenery from the top of the tree house
The moon shinning through
The moonlight is shining through the leaves of the trees, creating a beautiful atmosphere
All the leaves in the trees
We are surrounded by the beauty of nature
I lean close and whisper,
I move closer to you and speak softly
Can we stay here forever
I want to be with you in this moment forever
Out here in your back yard just us
We are alone in your backyard, enjoying each other's company
And the autumn breeze
We feel the cool autumn breeze blowing around us
For the first time I feel like I'm at a loss for words
I am speechless and overwhelmed by the moment
There's nothing left to do but move forward
I am ready to take the next step in our relationship
I'm finally ready for something good
I have overcome my doubts and fears and am ready for a positive change
I don't know if you've noticed
I am unsure if you are aware of my feelings
But I'm trying not to show that
I am attempting to hide my vulnerability and emotions
I'm scared that one day
I am afraid that in the future
I might wake up and realize that you are not there.
I may come to the realization that you are no longer in my life

My love, I'm so inlove with you.. You make me happy more tha anything else in this world and I can't imagine life without you.. We don't know what the future holds for us but I don't really care how it would be as long as you'll be with me.. For as long as I have you, I know my life would be great, complete, happy and perfect.. Don't get me wrong, a part of me is still scared, I guess I'm not that tough at all but this is a once in a lifetime chance and I would never miss this.. I love you <3
