Romeo
Thomas Fiss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Try to keep a straight face when
You tell me your in love with one
We dodged one last kiss but our lips won't let us meet
You know I'm a terrible actor, but a damn good romeo
I can't subscribe to feelings unanswered
When I'm alone you are my disaster
I can't go on and leave this unnoticed
I'm not the guy to make others jealous
But you're the only trophy this guy has ever won
Just say you love me
And I'll ask you to be my Juliet
And I'll be your Romeo
And I'll rewrite a scene change
That last kiss was just a phase
So we can grow old and keep acting out this way
Baby girl your love is all I'm dreaming of
And when my time is up
You couldn't take these dreams away from me
I'm thinking maybe I should start a trend
Pretend you're just a friend
You know I'm a terrible actor but a damn good romeo
I can't subscribe to feelings unanswered
When I'm alone you are my disaster
I'll pick the petals till this flower shows me love
I can't go on and leave this unnoticed
I'm not the guy to make others jealous
But you're the only trophy this guy has ever one
Just say you love me
And I'll ask you to be my Juliet
And I'll be your Romeo
And I'll rewrite a scene change
That last kiss was just a phase
So we can grow old and keep acting out this way
Just let me lay my eyes on you
I'm getting sleepy and you're my escape
You're not alone, I might be to blame
Falling in love something is we do with taste
(I'm patiently waiting, with flowers and a heartbeat)
Just let me lay my eyes on you
I'm getting sleepy and you're my escape
(Unnoticed I can't stand these empty feelings)
You're not alone, I might be to blame
Falling in love is something we do with taste
(I'm patiently waiting, with flowers and a heartbeat)
Just say you love me and I'll ask you to be my Juliet
And I'll be your Romeo
And I'll rewrite a scene change
That last kiss was just a phase
So we can grow old and keep acting out this way
(Just say you love me and I'll ask you to be my Juliet)
On this way
So we can grow old and keep acting out this way
(And I'll rewrite a scene change where this last kiss was just a phase)

In Thomas Fiss's song "Romeo," the singer is expressing his love and desire for a girl but can't seem to get his feelings reciprocated. The girl seems to have fallen in love with someone else, and though he tries to keep a straight face, he can't help but feel lovesick. The singer compares himself to Romeo, indicating that he is willing to do whatever it takes to be with the girl. He can't bear the thought of feelings going unanswered or leaving his love unnoticed. He picks the petals of a flower, hoping that it will reveal to him the truth about what the girl feels towards him. The singer is convinced that the girl is the only one for him, and he wants to sweep her off her feet and be her Romeo. The last kiss was just a phase, and he is willing to rewrite the scene change if it means they can grow old and keep acting out their love story.
The lyrics of "Romeo" deal with the themes of unrequited love, persistence, and the longing to be with someone you love. The singer is willing to go to great lengths to win the girl's heart, comparing himself to the famous romantic character, Romeo. The song's structure reflects the singer's emotions, starting with a more upbeat tempo and gradually slowing down to a more somber tone towards the end. The metaphor of the flower is also significant, representing the singer's hopes and anxieties about the girl's feelings towards him.
