Matt Nathanson - Romeo And Juliet lyrics

Matt Nathanson

(Dire Straits cover)

At The Point

Romeo & Juliet

A lovestruck Romeo sings a streetsus serenade

Layin' everybody low

With a love song that he made

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

You nearly gave me a heart attack

He's underneath my window

She's singing, hey la my boyfriend's back

Shouldn't come around here, singing up to people like that

Anyway, what you gonna do about it?"

Juliet

The dice were loaded from the start

And I bet and you exploded into my heart

And I forget, I forget

The movie song

When you gonna realize

It was just that the time was wrong

Juliet...

Come up on different streets

But they're both the streets of shame

Both dirty, both mean

Yeah 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

And you promised me everything

Yeah you promised me thick and thin

Now you just turn away and say

Romeo, yeah you know I used to have a scene with him

And Juliet

When we made love you used to cry

You said I'll love you like the stars above

I'm gonna love you til I die

And I forget, I forget

The movie song

When are you gonna realize

It was just that the time was wrong

Juliet...

And I can't do the talk

Like the talk on the 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 with you anytime

Juliet

When we made love you used to cry

You said I'll love you like the stars above

I'll love you til I die

You said there's a place for us

You know the movie song

When you gonna realize, it was just that the timing was wrong

Juliet...

A lovestruck Romeo sings a streetsus serenade

He's laying everybody low

With a love song that he made

Finds a street light

Steps out of the shade

And says something like

You and me babe, how about it?
