Love Story 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 the balcony in summer air.

I see the lights, see the party, the ballgowns.
See you make your way through the crowd,
And 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 that's left to do is run.
You 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 he knew,
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, 
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 be the prince, and I'll be the princess,
It's a love story, baby, just say, 'yes'."

"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 of this mess,
It's a love story, baby, just say, 'yes'."

Well, 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,"

You 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."

We were both young when I first saw you...


The story behind the song:
The story that is being told is of this girl and a boy and their lives are just like Romeo and Juliet's lives. They meet at a party and fall in love right then and there. Her dad say stay away from my daughter. They love each other to much to care what any one says. After a while he stops coming by, so she is worried that he doesn't want her any more. But he really does love her and asks her to marry him.

Quote Inferences:
1. On the balcony in summer air: I think that this means that that summer air can be magical sometimes. It will bring some unexpected things. She thinks back to it with a smile on her face.

2. Little did I know: She has no idea at that point that they are going to go through so much together just to be together. She doesn't know where life is going to take her with him around.

3. And I was crying on the stair case begging you "please don't go": I think this means that she feels like her life is going to end with him not there. She loves him so much that she wants to be with him always.

4. "Marry me, Juliet, you'll never half to be alone.": I think this part is my favorite part because it says that he loves her so much that he wants to spend the rest of his life with her. He never wants her to be alone. He will always be there for her no matter what.

5. I'll be waiting, all that's left to do is run: This means that she will wait for that time he comes for her. That  they just need to run away and be together forever. It can also mean that they want to get away from all the people that are trying to break them apart.
