We called it off again,
We'll get back together; I just don't know when.
'Cause you're treating us like a Shakespeare play,
And I don't want to die today.
Remove your nose from that book,
Wipe away that dirty look.
What I'm about to say you already know,
The Enchanted Forest we can't go...
I'm sorry, but we're not Romeo and Juliet,
I can't sneak-out to see you after sunset.
So take those thoughts and forget,
Let's get back to the present moment.
You're moving way too fast,
Stop for awhile and let the kisses last.
'Cause you know we got all the time in the world,
And you'll never have to fake your death, girl.
But if it makes you happy, shut your book and close your eyes,
'Cause just this once, I'll be your Romeo and you'll be my Juliet, tonight.
It's only been a day or two,
And you're already calling me sobbing to start anew.
I must say I haven't had much time,
To process what happened in my mind.
Honestly, you can't be that lonely,
I thought you kept your fairy tales close to keep you company?
Now's the best time to say what I need to say,
Happily ever after isn't going our way...
I'm sorry, but we're not Romeo and Juliet,
I can't sneak-out to see you after sunset.
So take those thoughts and forget,
Let's get back to the present moment.
You're moving way too fast,
Stop for awhile and let the kisses last.
'Cause you know we got all the time in the world,
And you'll never have to fake your death, girl.
But if it makes you happy, shut your book and close your eyes,
'Cause just this once, I'll be your Romeo and you'll be my Juliet, tonight.
Let's run away, Juliet,
Leave these haters behind and just forget.
You've changed my mind and altered my heart,
Better get packing because we'll need a head start.
Goodbye family, farewell Verona,
We're off to find California.
We can settle in L.A. and live like royalty,
Nothing else matters but you and me.
You're moving way too fast,
Stop for awhile and let the kisses last.
'Cause you know we got all the time in the world,
And you'll never have to fake your death, girl.
But if it makes you happy, shut your book and close your eyes,
'Cause just this once, I'll be your Romeo and you'll be my Juliet, tonight.
