Lyrics of Love Story

Here are the lyrics to one of my most favourite songs.

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 a balcony of summer air


I 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, because we’re dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
Oh, Ohhh


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’re trying 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, Ohhh…


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
He kneels 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-you’ll pick the white dress
It’s a love story, baby just say…yes…
Oh, Ohhh… Oh, Oh, Ohhh…

We were both young when I first saw you.

    Annalisa,

    For me "Love Story" is one of those rare songs that I loved from the first time I heard it months ago. It's even more unique to me because I don't listen to country music (although this is really a crossover). Never thought I'd like a song with banjo!

    Talylor wrote it herself. She described it as "a love that you've got to hide because for whatever reason it wouldn't go over well. I spun it in the direction of Romeo and Juliet; our parents are fighting. I relate to it more as a love that you cannot really elaborate on — a love that maybe society wouldn't accept [or] maybe your friends wouldn't accept."

    How do your and Scott's parents feel about your relationship? Your friends?

    I don't know if I've mentioned it but I've been writing songs on and off over the years (mostly ballads). Although technically they're lyrics as I haven't put them to sheet music yet.

    If I could write just ONE song, I'd want it to be as great as this one. To me, "I'll Be" by Edwin McCain is one of the most incredible songs ever written:

    I'll Be

    The strands in your eyes
    That color them wonderful
    Stop me and steal my breath.
    Emeralds from mountains
    Thrust toward the sky
    Never revealing their depth.

    Tell me that we belong together
    Dress it up with the trappings of love
    I'll be captivated
    I'll hang from your lips
    Instead of the gallows of heartache
    That hang from above.

    I'll be your crying shoulder
    I'll be love suicide
    I'll be better when I'm older
    I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

    Rain falls angry on the tin roof
    As we lie awake in my bed
    You're my survival, you're my living proof
    My love is alive not dead.

    Tell me that we belong together
    Dress it up with the trappings of love.
    I'll be captivated
    I'll hang from your lips
    Instead of the gallows of heartache
    That hang from above.

    I'll be your crying shoulder
    I'll be love suicide
    I'll be better when I'm older
    I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

    I've been dropped out, burned up,
    Fought my way back from the dead.
    Tuned in, turned on,
    Remembered the things that you said..

    I'll be your crying shoulder
    I'll be love suicide
    I'll be better when I'm older
    I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

    Edwin McCain

    JOKE

    What did one dehydrated Frenchman say to the other?

    "What do you want me to do, pee air?"

    ('Pierre', get it?)

    Hey Anna,

    It's 5:30am Thursday here in Toronto, 7:30pm where you are (I told you I'm thinking in Melbourne time!) Hope you two have been having a good day together.

    I just thought of something as I was getting out of bed. I'd LOVE to see a post from Scott, describing your lives together and how he feels about you. I'd like to hear about you from his point-of-view.

    What do you think?

    Hi Tiger,

    Wow, I can't believe how much your 'Sunrise at 6' picture has affected me. I think it's because it symbolizes a very significant event in my recent history. I'll tell you more about that on Saturday (check your e-mail).

    Thinking of your love for photography, I wrote this earlier tonight:

    "The camera is the heart's eye."

    What do you think?

  5. Hey Barry

    Sorry if my comment is a bit blured a bit tired.

    Scott only has his mum and she loves us she wants Scott to be kept down so he can still be at school with me :)
    My friends love our relationship now but at the start I don't think they liked it that much but now they know he makes me happy not sad.

    Ilove to hear a post from him too but that wont be happening too soon because this blog is my little secret that only Kim knows about. Sorry.

    Annalisa

    I love the song by the way.
