"Love Story" - Taylor SwiftI still have mixed emotions about this song. Either you like it or you don't, but I somehow find myself stuck in the middle. It's not your usual country, more like pop princess plays a banjo.
But...I can't deny it's catchy even though the concept of a real life Romeo and a Love Story come true is so far from what I desire in life: I want MORE.
No, I'm not married and yes, I'm ok with that.
No, I don't have kids and yes, that is my choice.
But yes...
I want romance. I want passion. I want unity, loyalty, trust and communication. I want someone to confide in, who will confide in me just the same. I want to share stories and have them eager to listen. I want freedom, but closeness. Soft energy, but excitement. I want intimate friendship and the ability to think each other's thoughts without invading our separate spaces. I want to travel. Discover a little about that person as I spill out my inner secrets. Create memories upon memories without a sense of time. Even if it's simply through great conversations.
Unlike Charlotte's character in Sex and the City who wanted to quit her job in hopes to one day be a full-time mom, I want to keep working because my hopes are focused somewhere else. I'd like to build my own solid foundation for me so I can look back and say, "Hey, I did that." Is it wrong to want this? Is it selfish? Then let me be wrong and selfish with this.
I've heard the rants a thousand times, but I will continue to choose my choice.
Lyrics:
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony of summer air
See the lights, See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You 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 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
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet cause we're dead if they know
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
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 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
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, 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 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, oh, oh
Cause we were both young when I first saw you
