We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standin' 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 we were meant be but no one else agrees
But I don’t care about them because you’re all I need
And I was crying on the staircase
Beggin' you: Please don't go! And I said
Baby, just take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
We’ll go far away and we’ll make it out of this mess
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 we were meant be but no one else agrees
But I don’t care about them because you’re all I need
And you are everything to me
Beggin' you: Please don't go! And I said
Baby, just take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
We don’t need a prince and you’re not a damsel in distress
It's a love story, baby, just say: Yes
Darling won’t you save me, they're trying 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
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
Darling won’t you 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
She 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
We’ll go far away, I will take you out of this mess
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
