We were both young, when I first saw you;
I closed my eyes and the flashback starts:
I was standing on a balcony in mid-summer air.

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.
See you make your way through the crowd
And say, "Hello,"
Little did I know...

That you were Rodeo, you were killing giants,
And my father said "Stay away from Julia!"
And I was screaming on the staircase

(Chorus)
Begging you "Please do not go!"
And I said...
"Rodeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all that'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 snuck out into the palace garden to see quiet.
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes... escape this town for a little while.
Oh, oh.

'Cuz you were Rodeo, I wrote a scarlet letter;
and my father said "Stay away from Julia!"
But you were everything to me.

(Repeat chorus)

"Rodeo, save me, they're trying 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 was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town.
And I said...

"Rodeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for you but you never come."
Was this in my brain? I dunno what to think,
He knelt down to the ground, pulled out a ring and said:

"Marry me, Julia, you'll never have to be alone.
I love you, and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad â€' go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

'cause we were both young when I first saw you"

Did you understand any of that?
Not a word.
