"Wake Up Juliet" lyrics

He's got a plan
By the time he's 25
He'll move out of his parents
Have a steady 9 to 5
With 3 kids, 2 dogs and a beautiful wife
It sounds nice

And his future, she saw herself in it
It's all she ever wanted
She believed that for a minute
But by noon she's bored with that white picket life

But isn't it cliché
The girl who throws everything away
Crying in the bathroom for a boy who's got no clue

Romeo is wasted
Love is overrated
Wake up Juliet
This isn't how it ends

Dying in a small town
Wishing that you got out
Wake up Juliet
This isn't how it ends

Big dreams, she's working every weekend
Saving up her money and she hides it in the ceiling
For a one-way ticket to the life that she wants

His big plans, he's drinking every evening
He says he's going to change
It's getting harder to believe him
Cause 4 beers, 2 shots, he already forgot

But isn't it cliché
The girl who throws everything away
Crying in the bathroom for a boy who's got no clue

Romeo is wasted
Love is overrated
Wake up Juliet
This isn't how it ends

Dying in a small town
Wishing that you got out
Wake up Juliet
This isn't how it ends

I wish somebody would have told me
Fairy tales are pretend
The prince marries your best friend
But you're living the life you always wanted
And it's better than you ever imagined

Romeo is wasted
Love is overrated
Wake up Juliet
This isn't how it ends

Dying in a small town
Wishing that you got out
Wake up Juliet
This isn't how it ends

Romeo is wasted
Love is overrated
Wake up Juliet
This isn't how it ends

Dying in a small town
Wishing that you got out
Wake up Juliet
This isn't how it ends
