Lirik lagu ‘Love Story’ (2008). Lagu yang membuat banyak dari kita mulai kenal dengan sosok Taylor Swift. Nostalgia lah yuk!
Bagi kamu-kamu yang setidaknya SD ketika tahun 2008, pastinya kamu betapa takjub ketika melihat video klip atau mungkin mendengar lagu ‘Love Story’ milik Taylor Swift.
Ya bagaimana tidak? Pasalnya ketika dirilis, gak hanya komposisi musik Pop-Country nya sangat ramah dan renyah di telinga, namun lirik lagu ‘Love Story’ sendiri juga sangat unik dan menggelitik imajinasi.
Inspirasi Liriknya
Nah berdasarkan pernyataan tersebut, tak ayal kita pun kini menjadi penasaran dari mana kira-kira inspirasi liriknya yang menampilkan 2 karakter novel legendaris, Romeo dan Juliet ini?
Jadi seperti yang terlansir dari Genius, inspirasi dari lirik lagu ‘Love Story’ datang ketika Taylor sedang mengalami situasi yang ruwet dengan sosok cowo yang ia sukai, tapi ironisnya keduanya kala itu tidak berstatus pacaran sama sekali.
Nah ketika lagunya dirilis dan mulai banyak yang menganalisa liriknya, banyak yang menyangka kalau liriknya ditujukan ke personil trio band Pop top dekade 2000, Jonas Brothers, Joe Jonas.
Namun ada yang bilang kalau lagunya ditujukan ke personil band rock, Boys Like Girls, Martin Johnson. Well terlepas untuk siapa pun itu, yang jelas lagu ini enak dan fun. Sekarang marilah kita bernostalgia lagi dengan lagunya melalui lirik lagunya berikut ini.
Lirik Lagu Love Story
Verse 1
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
See you make your way through the crowd
And say, “Hello”
Little did I know
Pre-Chorus 1
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
Chorus 1
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”
Verse 2
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, oh, oh
Pre-Chorus 2
‘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
*balik ke chorus 1*
Chorus 2
Romeo, 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”
Post-Chorus
Oh, oh
Bridge
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
Breakdown
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
Chorus 3
“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'”
Outro
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
‘Cause we were both young when I first saw you
