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 Chorus 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 couldn't stem your bleeding and neither could i Chorus Juliet, you did your best It's freezing in columbus Did you ever make it west? Bridge We built our base camp on avalanche terrain Looking back I think the wreckage was built into the frame Chorus Juliet, you did your best It's freezing in columbus Did you ever make it west?
