Juliet
Jonathan Pointer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see you from my bathroom window, Juliet
Dear Juliet, since we've really never met
I know it's strange to ask this question, Juliet
Would you come to me at night, when the stars are out
And constellations rise around us
Halo's bind or ring around the moon
And if I, had my way
And have an ounce of self respect
Maybe you could resurrect my love
Forever after Juliet
And if I, had my way
And have an ounce of self respect
Maybe you could resurrect my love
Forever after Juliet
Forever after Juliet
"Juliet" by Jonathan Pointer is a song about unrequited love. The singer of the song, who is addressed as "Dear Juliet" throughout the lyrics, seems to be observing Juliet from a distance, as he says he sees her "from [his] bathroom window." The singer admits that he has never really met Juliet but still has strong feelings for her. He asks her if she would "come to [him] at night, when the stars are out," where they can share a moment surrounded by the beauty of the night sky.
The singer of the song is clearly longing for love and specifically hopes that Juliet can "resurrect [his] love forever after." However, there is a note of sadness in the song as the singer acknowledges that this love may never be realized. He talks about needing "an ounce of self-respect" in order to pursue this love, which suggests that he may feel unworthy of Juliet or may not be confident enough to approach her.
Overall, "Juliet" is a poignant and romantic song that explores the pain of unrequited love and the beauty of romantic longing.

Dear Juliet, all alone in silhouette
I notice you standing in shadow through my bathroom window, Juliet.
Dear Juliet, since we've really never met
Though we've never spoken before, Juliet, I'm addressing you now.
I know it's strange to ask this question, Juliet
It may seem unusual, Juliet, but can I implore you to visit me on starry nights when the moon is shining bright?
Would you come to me at night, when the stars are out
Can you make your way to me when the sky is lit up by stars?
And constellations rise around us
As heavenly patterns form up high.
Halo's bind or ring around the moon
The light encircling the lunar body stands out.
And if I, had my way
If I were allowed to choose.
And have an ounce of self respect
If I were capable of prioritizing self-worth.
Maybe you could resurrect my love
I hope that you can revive the affection.
Forever after Juliet
And for all eternity following, Juliet.
And if I, had my way
If I were allowed to choose.
And have an ounce of self respect
If I were capable of prioritizing self-worth.
Maybe you could resurrect my love
I hope that you can revive the affection.
Forever after Juliet
And for all eternity following, Juliet.
