We were both young when I first saw you

They were twelve when they first met.

I close my eyes and the flashback starts

She remembers him standing on a chandelier.

I'm standin' there

He remembers her standing and watching from the ground.

On a balcony in summer air

Memories of standing on a balcony.

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns

The fancy ball was too much for her.

See you make your way through the crowd, and say, "Hello"

But when she saw his violet eyes, she calmed down.

Little did I know

She didn't understand this feeling.

That you were Romeo, you were throwin' pebbles

He knocked on her door everyday.

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"

Even though his father said to stay away from her.

And I was cryin' on the staircase, beggin' you, "Please don't go, " 

She never wanted him to leave.

and I said, Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

She wanted to stay alone with him.

I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run

They waited for the day they could run away.

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

She would one day be his princess.

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"

She said yes to being his friend.

So I sneak out to the garden to see you

They snuck out and met at night.

We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if they knew

They would be in detention if anyone found out.

So close your eyes

They closed their eyes, dreaming of escape.

Escape this town for a little while

And dreaming of running away.

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter

They always stayed in touch.

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"

Even though his father told him to stay away from her.

But you were everything to me, I was beggin' you, "Please don't go, " 

He didn't want to leave her.

and I said Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

He wanted to stay alone with her.

I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run

They waited for the day they could run away.

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

She would one day be his princess.

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"

She said yes to being his best friend.

Romeo, save me, they're tryna tell me how to feel

She wanted him to save her from her parent's vision of her future.

This love is difficult, but it's real

They had to keep it a secret, but at least it wasn't fake.

Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess

They would be together one day.

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"

She said yes to being his girlfriend.

I got tired of waiting

She wanted to go faster.

Wonderin' if you were ever comin' around

To tie their love.

My faith in you was fading

But she doubted him.

When I met you on the outskirts of town, 

They met again.

and I said, Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone

She told him how she felt.

I keep waiting for you, but you never come

That she kept waiting.

Is this in my head? I don't know what to think

That she was having doubts.

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring

And he did something that made her heart flutter.

And said, "Marry me, Juliet

He knelt down and pulled out a ring.

You'll never have to be alone

He said he would stay with her.

I love you and that's all I really know

He said the he loved her.

I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress

He convinced their parents.

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"

She said yes to being his wife.

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

And on their wedding day, Gilly and Jax remembered when they first met.
