about

I was teaching 9th grade English in Orange, VA. Dawned on me that Juliet was an idiot and Romeo was a jerk and kids today need to un-romanticize that story and learn from their mistake: do nothing in secret.

lyrics

JUST LIKE JULIET

Just like Juliet, I’m in love
I once could see but now I’m blinded by the stars above
And I don’t understand why my lovig has flown away
I’m risking my life just to stay with you tonight.

I am the night, the nightingale
You are the lark of the morning
You are the sight, the sentinel
I am the heart that needs a warning to fly away
To fly away before the day breaks
Fly away before I’m caught in your arms.

Just like Juliet, I’m a fool.
You stole my heart away and now I’m breaking all the rules
You’ve got me lying and crying in my sleep
I’m trying to keep my head on straight
But I’m in this much too deep

Just like Juliet
I need a love that won’t threaten my life
Well, I believe in sacrifice
But I don’t know my Romeo
if you are worth the price. Are you worth the price?
