Love Story

TAYLOR SWIFT


Love Story Lyrics
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air

See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh oh

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring

And said, marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes

Oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

Dierks Bentley - lyrics Home Other Album Songs



West on a plane bound west I see her stretching out below
Land blessed motherland the place where I was born
Scars yeah, she's got her scars sometimes it starts to worry me
'Cause lose, I don't wanna lose sight of who we are
From the mountains high to the wave-crashed coast
There's a way to find better days I know
It's been a long hard ride, got a ways to go
But this is still the place, that we all call home
Free, nothing feels like free
Though it sometimes means we don't get along
'Cause same, no we're not the same
But that's what makes us strong
From the mountains high, to the wave-crashed coast
There's a way to find, better days I know
It's been a long hard ride, got a ways to go
But this is still the place that we all call home oh yeah
Brave got it call it brave to chase that dream across the sea
Names then they sign their names for something they believe
Red how the blood ran red and we laid our dead in sacred ground
Just think wonder what they'd think if they could see us now
It's been a long hard ride, got a ways to go
But this is still the place, that we all call home
It's been a long hard ride and I won't lose hope
This is still the place that we all call home

 




Satire

Satire is a genre.  How may an author decide what order to put events in a plot chart if they are trying to be satirical?  Why?
