So, she says it's time she goes 
but wanted to be sure I know 
she hopes we can be friends 
I think, yeah, I guess we can say I 
but didn't think to ask her why 
she blocked her eyes and drew the curtains 
with knots I've got yet to untie... 

what if I were Romeo in black jeans 
what if I was Heathcliff, it's no myth 
maybe she's just looking for 
someone to dance with 

See, it was just too soon to tell 
and looking for some parallel 
can be an endless game 
We said goodbye before hello 
my secrets she will never know 
and if I dig a hole to China 
I'll catch the first junk to Soho 

what if I were Romeo in black jeans 
what if I was Heathcliff, it's no myth 
maybe she's just looking for 
someone to dance with 

Sometime from now you'll bow to pressure 
some things in life you cannot measure by degrees 
I'm between the poles and the equator 
don't send no private investigator to find me please 
'less he speaks Chinese 
and can dance like Astaire overseas 

what if I were Romeo in black jeans 
what if I was Heathcliff, it's no myth 
maybe she's just looking for 
someone to dance with
