This song is titled Romeo and Juliet. The lyrics in the song are "modern", but the idea and how they feel is the same as it is in the play. Many people now a days make a lot of references to Romeo and Juliet, such as when girls say, "I hope someday I can find a love just like Romeo!". Romeo is made to be the "perfect" boyfriend/husband a girl could ever dream of. Girls hope that they can find their own Romeo. Although it is basically the greatest love story ever told, people always seem to leave out the fact that they both killed themselves. The did NOT live happily ever after. They might have shared the greatest bond that two people could ever have, but it did not turn out the way they wanted. Perhaps the reason for this is because the love they shared overpowered everything else that was important, like their own lives.
