Star-Crossed


Wish I would look out my window and see you there

Wish we could run away

I sit writing secret love letters

You're running through my mind 

Unfortunate, Unforeseen

Just star-crossed lovers

Like Romeo and Juliet

 

They say I should aim higher

I'm so naive

I get lost in your eyes, in your smile

Feels like nothing I've felt before

You see who I could be

Not class A or class B, just human

Just star-crossed lovers

Like Jack and Rose

 

Lavished pearls

Extravagant parties

You've captured my attention

You captured my heart a long time ago

"Oh, what to do?!" ,when one man has your hand and another your affection

What will they say, if they ever find out about our secret

One last rendezvous

Just star-crossed lovers

Like Gatsby and Daisy

 

A lifetime of love 

Just a few months

Late night phone calls

Butterflies in my stomach

"Okay? Okay."

An incredible adventure

The pain of losing you will never compare to the privilege of having you

even for a minute

Just star-crossed lovers

I guess that's just the fault in our stars
