Romeo and Juliet Lyrics
a lovestruck romeo sings a streetsuss serenade.
laying everybody low with the love song that he's made.
he finds a street light, steps out of the shade.
and says something like, "you and me babe, how about it?"
juliet says, "hey it's romeo! he nearly gave me a heart attack. he's underneath my window." she's singing, "hey la, my boyfriend's back. you shouldn't come around here, singing up people like that."
anyway, what you gonna do about it?
"juliet, the dice were loaded from the start. and i bet that you exploded into my heart. and i forget, i forget the movie song. but when you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong? juliet."
come up on different streets, and they both were streets of shame.
both dirty, both mean.
yeah, and even the dream was just the same.
"and i dreamed your dream for you,
and now your dream is real.
so how can you look at me as if i was just another one of your deals?
and you can fall for chains of silver,
and you can fall for chains of gold.
you can fall for pretty strangers, and the promises they hold.
you promised me everything.
yeah, you promised me thick & thin.
now you just turn away and say, 'romeo, yeah, you know i used to have a scene with him.'
"juliet, when we made love you used to cry. you said, 'i love you like the stars above, i'm gonna love you till i die.'
i forget, i forget, the movie song.
but when you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong? juliet.
"and i can't do the talk like the talk on tv.
and i can't do a love song, like the way it's meant to be.
all i can do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme.
juliet, i'd do the stars for you anytime.
"juliet, when we made love you used to cry. you said, 'i love you like the stars above, and i'll love you till i die.'
you said, 'there's a place for us, if you know the movie song.'
when you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong? juliet."

this is my new favourite matt nathanson song.... it does change every week though
this is a dire straits cover
PLEASE HELP!!! So my ex-girlfriend (who knows I want to get back together) sent me this song today and I'm not quite sure what if means!!!! I'm seeing her in a little over a week for the first time in 3-4 months (yet we still talk 2-3 times a week). We've always had this thing where we send each other songs about how we feel and what we are thinking... Can ANYONE help me with the meaning behind this (A females opinion would be GREAT :)
