We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know
That you were Romeo
You were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go
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
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes, lets keep this down for a little while
Oh, oh,
'Cause you were Romeo,
I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
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 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
Romeo, save me, they try 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
Oh oh
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
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
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
Oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

vocal I've never really been a fan of Taylor, but the moment I heard this song, I fell in love with it. Including the whole Romeo and Juliet scenario especially by using the exact names in a song is a daring move, in my opinion, but she definitely did the story justice. Very good work.

vocal I like the song... but it's kinda annoying after a bit. and I don't understand why it had to be fairytale perfect. and the guitar kinda sounds weird on the first note of the ostinato. but it is quite nice. :S

vocal It's an okay song? Felt like it was made specifically just to get fans though with the whole love/fairytale thing. Just not too original, y'know? But it's an okay song.
