Jess Klein - Romeo Lyrics
The air was colder, eyes were heavyThe day a child who loved diedYour heart was choking on its sorrowYour 13 year old innocent delightAnd me, I've spent my life in waitingOn one whose heart knew more than mineAnd now the stars are in my windowAnd on my breath, the moonlightOh Romeo, I can't explain this weight upon my chestThat you'd live to tell the story to a girl whose left for lessI have never cried for thinking Verona was not mineWhy am I pacing through her dusty streets?I pray there is not tragedy this timeOh, how they'll love to claim its magicHow that somehow frees their handsAnd they say they'd love to change the worldAnd meanwhile they watch it from the standsBut you and I are all alone here nowIt's not what either of us plannedI'd be the last to think I'd learn to loveYour beauty took so long to understandOh Romeo, I can't explain this weight upon my chestThat you'd live to tell the story to a girl whose left for lessI have never cried for thinking Verona was not mineWhy am I pacing through her dusty streets?I pray there is not tragedy this timeOh Romeo, I can't explain this weight upon my chestThat you'd live to tell the story to a girl whose left for lessI have never cried for thinking Verona was not mineWhy am I pacing through her dusty streets?I pray there is not tragedy this time
