Love Story

So....

Love Story
Swift, Taylor

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

(ok, so far that's fine)

See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know

(awwwwwwwwwwww)

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

(awwwww, teenage love)

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there'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

(fine, cute - a bit too sugary, but fun - great melody btw)

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew (???? dead ????)
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter (WHAT?????? A SCARLET LETTER? AS IN ADULTRY? AS IN "THE SCARLET LETTER?" HOW ON EARTH IS THAT ROMANTIC? YOU THINK THAT BEING AN ADULTERESS (CHEATING ON HUSBAND- I'LL IGNORE THE MINISTER THING) AND THEN BEING OUTCASTED AND NOT ACKNOWLEDGED BY SOCIETY OR THE FATHER IS ROMANTIC? I'M FAILING TO SEE HOW THAT IS EVEN REMOTLY A GOOD REFERENCE IN THIS CASE. DID SWIFT JUST SEE SOME MOVIE WHERE THIS CAME OUT AS GOOD? Didn't they make a movie for this that was like a love story? That is so annoying!)

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 there'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

(I'm still annoyed at the Scarlet Letter)

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 (the mess being that you are in HS and your parents don't like you having sex? Ok, I'm sure that 'real' life will be much better..)
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh oh

I got tired of waiting (after, like 10 min?)
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading (nice....)
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone (apparently the faith is back)
I keep waiting for you but you never come (but, not enough to leave)
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
