We were both young when I first saw you
I closed my eyes and the flashback starts
You're standing there
On a balcony in summer air
See the lights, see the party the ball gown
See me make my way through the crowd
to say hello,
little did you know
That I was Romeo, I was throwin pebbles
And your daddy said stay away from Juliet
You were crying on your staircase
Beggin me please don't go
And I said
Check yes Juliet are you with me
Rain is falling down on the sidewalk
I won't go until you come outside
You said Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby now
Run baby run, don't ever look back
They'll tear us apart if we give them the chance
Don't sell your heart, don't say we're not meant to be
Run baby run, forever we'll be
You and me
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
I was romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And your daddy said stay away from Juliet
You were everything I wanted
You were beggin me please don't go
And I said
Lace up your shoes
Ayo Ayo
Here's how we do
Run baby run, don't ever look back
They'll tear us apart if we give them the chance
Don't sell your heart, don't say we're not meant to be
Run baby run, forever we'll be
Ooh I'm tired of waiting
Wondering if I was ever coming around
Your faith in me is fading
when you met me on the outskirts of this town
When you 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
Then I knelt to the ground and said
Run baby run, don't ever look back
They'll tear us apart if we give them the chance
Don't sell your heart, don't say we're not meant to be
Run baby run, forever we'll be
You and me
