"Modern Day Romeo & Juliet" is the other of my two co-writes. This one was also written with my friend, Gayla Edwards. This was another song that we were talking about. She was telling me "I have another song written that I didn't finish". I say "let me see what you've got.." She pitched me the opening lines to what would be this song. And I immediately knew where I wanted to go with it. She says "take it and finish it and do your spin". So I did. It turned out to be a "love at first sight" plot/setting, the modern day Shakespeare. First introduced on the Deluxe Edition of 'Gets Me Goin''. Now re-releasing on the Extended Version.. Out August 27.
LYRICS:
IT WASN'T A FAIRY-TALE ROMANCE,
NOT ONE WRITTEN IN A BOOK,
BUT I KEEP ON FALLING,
FALLING MORE IN LOVE WITH YOU,
NEVER PLANNED ON IT HAPPENING,
BUT IT HAPPENED THAT WAY,
IT MUST HAVE BEEN GOD'S DESIGN,
BECAUSE IT HAPPENED ANWAY,
NEVER FELT LIKE THIS BEFORE,
YOU'RE NEVER EVER TOO FAR,
I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER MORE,
NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE,
YOU COULD BE THE ONE,
THE ONE FOR ME,
WITHOUT A RHYME OR REASON IT COULD BE LOVE,
I GO TO PIECES WHEN WE'RE FAR APART,
IF IT WERE A GAME I'D BET,
I'D BET OUR LOVE,
IS LIKE A MODERN DAY VERSION OF,
ROMEO AND JULIET
WHEN I GO TO SLEEP AT NIGHT,
YOU'RE ALL THAT'S ON MY MIND,
I'VE GOT THIS THING FOR YOU,
THAT I CAN'T SHAKE LOOSE,
HONEY YOU GOT ME GOOD,
I AIN'T LETTING GO,
IT'S LIKE BOY MEETS GIRL,
AND YOU'RE ONE OF A KIND,
NEVER JUST A FACE IN THE CROWD,
AND THERE AIN'T NO DOUBT,
OUR LOVE IS LIKE A CLOUD,
RIDING ON NUMBER NINE,
YOU COULD BE THE ONE,
THE ONE FOR ME,
WITHOUT A RHYME OR REASON IT COULD BE LOVE,
I GO TO PIECES WHEN WE'RE FAR APART,
IF IT WERE A GAME I'D BET,
I'D BET OUR LOVE,
IS LIKE A MODERN DAY VERSION OF,
ROMEO AND JULIET
I WOULD BET MY HEART,
IT'S A MODERN DAY VERSION OF,
ROMEO AND JULIET,
ROMEON AND JULIET.
