Antje Duvekot Juliet Lyrics

Knew right away that we'd be best buds
When you got on the school bus
Your chuck tailors were ragged and worn-in
It wasn't long til we were counting the days til graduation
We were dreaming of oregon
You had a cousin in portland
Who had his very own place
So we hatched a scheme for how we'd get away

We found courage in the bourbon
Like sponges we soaked in the night until we sank down
Huddled up against the bonfire
We were drunk on our youth and the band and the sound
And i held your head that night you dried your eyes out on the curb
After he crushed your heart with a single word

Juliet, you did your best
It's freezing in columbus Did you ever make it west?

I was quiet, you were reckless
And the boys liked you better and, in truth, i did mind
I was the thunder to your lightning
You were flame, i was embers and you scared me sometimes
Just being close to you felt like diving from the sky
You couldnt stem your bleeding and neither could i

Juliet, you did your best
It's freezing in columbus
Did you ever make it west?

We built our base camp on avalanche terrain
Looking back
I think the wreckage was built into the frame

Juliet, you did your best
It's freezing in columbus
Did you ever make it west?
