Lyrics

By Bryant Switzky

I had some dark times drifting all alone
And I was desperate for someone to take me home
All the while I could see your smile there in the back of my head
I was trying to find a the perfect line, I should've been looking for you instead

I was playing the long game, but I didn't know it yet
That I was Romeo and you were my Juliet
It's a messy story, you and me
But that don't mean it wasn't meant to be

We had a history, just kids caught up in the game
We did some bad stuff, but we forgave it all the same
Without a plan we were holding hands, saying we were only friends
The other girls in the world could never make a dent

I was playing the long game, but I didn't know it yet
That I was Romeo and you were my Juliet
It's a messy story, you and me
But that don't mean it wasn't meant to be

Looking back it all makes sense
We were looking for something true
It took some time for me to find
The realest thing was you

I was playing the long game, but I didn't know it yet
That I was Romeo and you were my Juliet
It's a messy story, you and me
But that don't mean it wasn't meant to be
