Argument 2

Argument 2 theory 2:

The song shows that a guy and a girl are seeing each other even though they are not allowed to be. The girls father does not approve of them being together. This scares the guy a little bit. They want to be together but the guy is unsure if he should stick to the relationship because of this issue with her father.

            In one of the stanzas the lyrics read:

Romeo save me- they’re tryin’ 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.”

            In the first line the girl (acting as Juliet) tells the guy (acting as Romeo) to save her because she feels trapped in her own home, unable to see him. Her parents are trying to tell her how to feel about him and she doesn’t want to listen to them being negative about him anymore. The second line in the stanza confirms that their relationship is difficult but that it’s true love. 

            In the third line of the stanza the girl is telling the guy that she loves to not be afraid and that they will get through the issue with her dad. This shows that the guy is probably afraid and is a little unsure if he should stick with the relationship because of the issue with her father and others. She is telling him not to be afraid so she clearly is not going to give up on their relationship.

            In the forth line of the stanza she says that it’s a love story and for him to just say yes.  She wants him to says yes to them being together. She does not want him to give up just because they have a difficult relationship. They are always sneaking around and trying not to get caught together so it is hard for them to have a normal relationship. She wants for him to say yes to their relationship so it is clear that the guy is not so sure if he should stick to the relationship because of this issue with her father.
