Love Story
Love Story - Taylor Swift Lyrics

We were both young when I first saw you
I was young and innocent when I first saw you

I close my eyes and the flashback starts
Whenever I think of you, my memory takes me back to the past

I'm standin' there
I am present in that moment of the past

On a balcony in summer air
I remember being on a balcony with you in the summer

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
I see the grandeur of the ball and the people in it

See you make your way through the crowd
I see you moving through the crowd elegantly

And say, "Hello"
Finally, we exchanged greetings

Little did I know
I did not realize back then that we would end up together

That you were Romeo, you were throwin' pebbles
I came to know later that you were like Romeo, throwing pebbles at me to get my attention

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
My father warned me to stay away from you

And I was cryin' on the staircase
I remember crying alone on the staircase

Beggin' you, "Please don't go," and I said
I pleaded with you not to leave and requested you to stay

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I wanted to be alone with you, away from everyone else

I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
I'll wait for you, and we can run away together

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
I imagine you as a prince, and me as your princess

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"
Our story is a tale of love, and I want you to say yes to me

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
I would sneak out to meet you in the garden

We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if they knew
We have to stay silent because we fear the consequences if anyone comes to know our secret

So close your eyes
I ask you to close your eyes

Escape this town for a little while, oh oh
Let's leave this town and take a break for some time

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
You were my Romeo, and I was considered a disgraceful person by society

But you were everything to me
Despite society's opinions, you were everything to me

Romeo, save me, they're tryna tell me how to feel
I seek your rescue as society is trying to control my emotions

This love is difficult, but it's real
Our love might be challenging, but it is genuine

Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
I believe we can overcome this situation together

Oh, oh
A sound of surprise or realization

I got tired of waiting
Waiting for you became exhausting

Wonderin' if you were ever comin' around
I kept wondering if you would ever arrive

My faith in you was fading
My belief in you was slowly diminishing

When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said
But then, I met you on the edges of the city and spoke the following words

Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone
I need your sanctuary as I have been feeling extremely lonely

I keep waiting for you, but you never come
I keep waiting for you, but you never arrive at the time I expect you to

Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
I am not sure if my thoughts are real, and I am confused

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
You got down on one knee and produced a ring

And said, "Marry me, Juliet
You asked me to marry you by taking my name

You'll never have to be alone
You promised that you would never leave me alone

I love you and that's all I really know
I love you; that is the only thing which is true

I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
I spoke to your father, and we decided on a white dress for you

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"
Our relationship is like a love story, and I want you to consent and say yes to me

Oh, oh, oh
Sound of joy or excitement

Oh, oh, oh, oh
A variation of the sound of joy or excitement

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
I remember when we met, we were young and inexperienced
