Don't you believe in love

When everyone is young they believe in love. Girls dream of the biggest wedding, pretties dress and the cutest husband. The they ride off into the sunset and live happily ever after. But as these little girls grow up they learn the ride off into the sunset doesn't last forever and neither does love. You have the middle school relationships that you say I Love You after the first 10 hours of being asked out and knowing this is the right person and you are going to marry each other. Then you get into high school and you become a little wiser and close your heart off a little more. Girls realize that boys need to earn it and those first hours not one I love you comes out. But then the boys do earn your heart and sooner and later their is a possibility they are going to break it.

The tone of the song is happy but a mystery, like back in high school. Are they going to work out, is her dad going to give in. Are they going to ride off into the sunset and live happily ever after like in the love stories that were read to you as a little kid. Where there is a princess and a prince saves her from the dragon and she then that makes her realize that he is the one. Those are the love stories that everyone wants, but sadly most people aren't going to find their prince by him saving her from a dragon.

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
These lyrics are very visual. I can see a boy around 16 who knows that this is the girl for him, he is outside her window at 11pm and is yelling her name and she open her window and sticks her head out to see what is going on. Then she sees the "prince" and they both start smiling and they just know. But then you can see the first door open and her dad yelling for him to leave his princess and no one else alone. Then she runs down the stairs to try and stop her dad and as the boy gets in the car to leave she just starts crying and just wanting to run after him but her dad grabs her and wont let her leave.

I really like this analysis and intro i think any girl can relate to this song. Do u think the girl is still with the boy or does this come later in the song?

Do you see the relationship between this song and the story Romeo and Juliet?

Do you think that maybe its more then just her family that did not want to see her with him maybe it is a love that cannot really be elaborate on or talked about?
