love story.

Love Story by Taylor Swift

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

I want something different. Give me a love story that’s so romantic that I have no choice but to say “Yes!”Call it the romanticism of a little girl. Call it the fantasies of a dreamer. Call it the emotional extremes of an actor. I want a reason to say“Yes!”‘Cause I just don’t feel it right now.

I filmed an MOS short film for an NYU Tisch Asia student over the weekend, titled “Love Story”. I played a dead lover who was unwilling to let go of her lover, even while she was in the grave, It involved leg, hand & butt action. You’ll understand if you ever saw it!

There’s so much of me that no one ever understands. When I’m locked in my room & dance to my heart’s content. When I watch movie scenes & tears just run down my cheeks. When I have so much love for life, for dreams, for everyone around me.

If you ever saw the real me, would you fall in love with me?

Beyond the shy, awkward self, the passion within me is something that can only be expressed through my performances. Through this song – “Love Story” . That’s the passion I have within me. If you would just look closer, if you would get to know me better, if I ever gave you a chance to look deep into my eyes, into my heart.

I would amaze you.
