In a foreign place,
The saving grace was the feeling
That it was a heart that he was stealing
Oh, he was ready to impress and the fierce excitement
The eyes are bright,
He couldn't wait to get away
I bet that Juliet was just the icing on the cake
Make no mistake, no

And even if somehow we could have shown
You the place you wanted
Well, I'm sure you could have made it
That bit better on your own

And I bet she told a million people
That she'd stay in touch
Well, all the little promises they don't mean much
When there's memories to be made
And I hope you're holding
Hands by New Year's Eve
They made it far too easy to believe
That [bad word] romance can't be achieved
These days

And even if somehow we could have shown
You the place you wanted
Well, I'm sure you could have made it
That bit better on your own
You are the only ones who know
