R+J Lyrics

I tried to understand as I touched your hand
What went wrong today
I didn't understand how all best laid plans go to waste
The alter lay still
Empty until some old martyr came
But what's in a name?
I'm sure glad you came to the show

Romeo + Juliet, we are
Romeo + Juliet, we are

I tried to understand
How to be a man when your pride is gone
The rulebook got banned
Burned in my hand 'til it scarred
Thinking they're smart
"'Love's not an art 'til you've been and gone"
They can beat us to hell
We'll never forget who we are

Romeo + Juliet, we are
Romeo + Juliet, we are

Why can't we all just get along?
Passing our time side-by-side
Why can't we all just get along like before?

I tried to understand as your plane came to land
What went wrong today
The touch of your hand was missed by a man left behind
The loneliest times are last thing at night when I think of you
So, goodnight my friend
I'll see you again in my dreams

Romeo + Juliet, we are
Romeo + Juliet, we are
Romeo + Juliet, we are

Why can't we all just get along?
