Love Story
Swift Taylor Lyrics

We were both young when I first saw you
We were both in our youth when our eyes met for the first time

I close my eyes and the flashback starts
As I close my eyes, my memories start to take me back in time

I'm standing there
As the memory begins to unfold, I find myself standing there

On a balcony in summer air
The memory places me on a balcony, the warm summer air all around me

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
I see the dazzling lights, the grand party, and the beautiful ball gowns

See you make your way through the crowd
Amongst all of this, I see you making your way towards me through the crowd

And say hello
As you finally reach me, you greet me with a warm hello

Little did I know That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles And my daddy said, "stay away from Juliet"
Ignorant of the potential dangers, I didn't realize that you were secretly pursuing me while my father forbade our love

And I was crying on the staircase Begging you, please, don't go
I was heartbroken, crying on the staircase, begging you not to leave

And I said "Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone I'll be waiting, all that'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 pleaded with Romeo to take me away where we could be alone; all that's left is for us to leave this place and begin our fairytale romance

So I sneak out to the garden to see you We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
To meet you secretly, I slip out to the garden with the knowledge that if we're caught, it's the end for us

So close your eyes Escape this town for a little while oh oh 'Cause you were Romeo, I was a Scarlet letter And my daddy said "stay away from Juliet"
I asked Romeo to close his eyes and take a moment to escape this world with me; we both knew the challenges we were facing as our love was forbidden

But you were everything to me, I was begging you, please, don't go And I said 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 meant everything to me, and I begged him not to leave; I implored him to come with me and run away so that we could be together forever

Romeo save me, they're trying to 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"
As others try to control our feelings, I turn to Romeo to save me; our love is challenging, but it's authentic, and we'll make it out of this situation if we stay together

But I got tired of waiting Wondering if you were ever coming around My faith in you was fading When I met you on the outskirts of town
Growing impatient, I started to think that you would never come back to me; I began to lose hope, but then I unexpectedly met you on the outskirts of town

And I said "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"
I expressed my loneliness, waiting for Romeo but feeling like he may never return; I wondered if I was only imagining our love and didn't know what to believe

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"
Romeo expressed his deep love for me, telling me to never be alone again and proposing marriage; he even spoke to my father and asked me to pick out a white dress, asking me to commit to our fairytale love story

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
Our love story began when we were both still in our youth
