By Taylor Swift

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.

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".

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.

See you make your way through the crowd
And say, "Hello,"
Little did I know...

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".

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... 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"
But you were everything to me,
I was begging you, "Please don't go"
And I said...
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be

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, oh.
'cause we were both young when I first saw
you.
