"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 that'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"

Explanation: In the song, Taylor makes a connection to the Play "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare. She is comparing her love life to that of Romeo and Juliette's in the play. Meaning her love is being restricted by her father and they are separated by uncontrollable factors.
