‘romeo’ said juliette,
‘could you take me away from this?’
‘juliette’ said romeo,
‘i wish i could but i don’t think so.
i’ve tried to run other times before,
but this world always seemed too small.
and, oh my my,
they’ll steal it all from you,
but let me help you to sing...’

so, juliette grabbed romeo
ran to the car, said ‘c’mon let’s go,
let’s not let them tell us what to do, no more’
up in the glovebox a 45
ain’t no plan but to stay alive
in a moment, rolled up on that liquor store
and she’s singing
‘after...’

after all this time,
i’m still yours and your still mine.
after all this time

propped at a bar down in mexico
love in the sunshine
no ghosts, no phone
juliette says ‘i love you romeo’
she takes his hand, puts it on her side
says ‘try and guess what there is inside?
i know we planned to wait but, well, surprise..’
oh no, sing

after all this time
i’m still yours and you’re still mine
after all this time...
we just keep on running
