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.
