Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It started out as nothing in the strangest sense
He was never in his right mind, no defense
She prayed for his attention, often on repeat
Every time she heard his name and his heartbeat
[Verse 2]
He was in denial in his own backyard
Pleading for the rain just to come down hard
She bought him a bracelet and put it on his wrist
Like every time before, she got close but missed
[Verse 3]
Romeo, Romeo, I'm your Juliet
I'm the pot of gold that you haven't found yet
I hear you right here
He said, Juliet, I believe every word you say
But time is running backwards every single day
I hear you right here
[Verse 4]
Well, it started out as nothing in the strangest place
Beating like a drum in that hard luck space
He swore that he could feel something tugging on his sleeve
He had the strangest sense that he was Adam, she was Eve
[Verse 5]
She was in chains by her own good hand
Keeping all the angels under her command
He saw every detail burning like sun
Couldn't get it straight that his race was run
[Verse 6]
Romeo, Romeo, tell me where you been
I would be complete if you'd only let me in
I hear you right here
He said, Juliet, I told you I was only passing through
If I had a moment I would spend it just with you
I hear you right here
[Verse 7]
And they all fall down
And they all fall down
[Verse 8]
And she said, Romeo, Romeo, I'm your Juliet
I'm the pot of gold that you haven't found yet
I hear you right here
And he said, Juliet, I believe every word you say
But time is running backwards every single day
I hear you right here
[Verse 9]
And she said, Romeo, Romeo, tell me where you been
I would be complete if you'd only let me in
I hear you right here
And he said, Juliet, I told you I was only passing through
And if I had a moment I would spend it just with you
I hear you right here
Here, here, here
