Romeo lives on the ground floor of building three
_____
Juliette's in the building across the way, on the top floor
_____
They're both sixteen
_____
And every day when they see each other
_____
A desire to share grows in their eyes
_____
At the first date they take the plunge
_____
Under a sad autumn sky where it rains on their bodies
_____
They kiss like crazy
_____
No fear of wind or cold
_____
Because love has its seasons that reason ignores
_____
Romeo's into Juliette and Juliette's into Romeo
_____
And if the sky isn't kind, so much for the weather forecast
_____
A love in the storm, that of gods, that of men
_____
One love, some courage, and two kids outside the norm
_____
Juliette and Romeo meet up often in secret
_____
It's not that the people around them
_____
It's that Juliette's dad has a kippa on his head
_____
And Romeo's dad goes to the mosque every day
_____
So they lie to their families
_____
They plan like pros
_____
If there's no place for their love
They build their own backdrop
_____
They love each other at the movies, at friends', on the metro
_____
Because love has its houses that the parents ignore
_____
Romeo's into Juliette and Juliette's into Romeo
_____
And if the sky isn't kind, so much for the weather forecast
_____
That of gods, that of men
_____
And two kids outside the norm
_____
Romeo's dad is pissed, he suspects something
_____
Juliette's family's Jewish
_____
You mustn't get close to her
_____
But Romeo argues and stands up to the pressure
_____
We don't give a d*mn, dad, that she's Jewish
_____
Look how beautiful she is
_____
So the love stays undercover whenever his dad turns his back
_____
He gives her the high life with what's at hand
_____
For her it's a kebab sandwich and a cheeseburger at McD's
_____
Because love has its affairs that bills ignore
_____
Romeo's into Juliette and Juliette's into Romeo
_____
And if the sky isn't kind, so much for the weather forecast
_____
That of gods, that of men
_____
And two kids outside the norm
_____
But the story gets tricky when Juliette's dad
_____
Stumbles on messages he shouldn't have read
_____
A text on the iPhone and an online chat
_____
The verdict's in, she can't go out anymore
_____
Romeo's stuck in the lobby of building three
_____
Despite his buddy Mercutio, his joy fades
_____
His princess is all set but stuck under her roof
_____
Because love has its prisons that reason dishonors
_____
But Juliette and Romeo change the story and take off
_____
Seems they love each other more in life than in death
_____
No vial of cyanide, sorry Shakespeare
_____
Because love has its horizons that poisons ignore
_____
Romeo's into Juliette and Juliette's into Romeo
_____
And if the sky isn't kind, so much for the weather forecast
_____
That of gods, that of men
_____
And two kids outside the norm
_____
Romeo's into Juliette and Juliette's into Romeo
_____
And if the sky isn't kind, so much for the weather forecast
_____
A love in a reactionary, insulting storm
_____
One love and two kids ahead of their time
