  • Don’t want to be a secondhand story, just want the chance to get it right
    So Juliet, catch your breath, I swear this time we’ll both make it out alive
    I can’t change the way you think but I can change the way you see
    Your dad’s a dick but I’m over it and he won’t keep you from me
    Please don’t go cause’
    If you stay here and look me in the eyes, I’d write like Shakespeare back in 1599
    One day you’ll grow to find that there’s so much more to life
    Than what our parents say and think so have you told them you are mine?
    (Just like Shakespeare)
    I may never learn my lesson and your father says I’m living with a deathwish
    I’m not looking for an exit, in the end he’s the only that’s really feeling threatened
    I would stay away, I would live without you, but I won’t stay away
    If you stay here and look me in the eyes, I’d write like Shakespeare back in 1599
    One day you’ll grow to find that there’s so much more to life
    Than what our parents say and think so have you told them you are mine?
    (Just like Shakespeare)
    I pulled up to your crib in the morning, 4:00 am your dad answered the door
    One swing and he’s down on the floor, then I looked at him and said
    If she stays here, I’ll look her in the eyes and feel like Shakespeare in 1599
    Just know, I’ve come to find that I’ll never change your mind
    But you’re a dick and I’m over it, so sorry sir, she’s mine
    If you stay here and look me in the eyes, I’d write like Shakespeare back in 1599
    One day you’ll grow to find that there’s so much more to life
    Than what our parents say and think so have you told them you are mine?
    (Just like Shakespeare)
    There’s so much more to life than what our parents say and think
    So have you told them you are mine? Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
