People have always asked what romeo + juliet is about and basically it is about a girl who is completely into a guy and she knows he isn’t perfect because no one is, but regardless she’d be with him. It’s knowing that the guy has a past and she’s saying ‘hey, you’ve been through all this stuff before me, but I’m being patient, being that calm in the storm, like a peaceful existence for him’. I actually wrote it some time ago too after seeing some things about what happened to a really great guy and it just reminded me of Romeo and Juliet. Most also don’t realise that Romeo loved Rosaline before he met Juliet and who the song is about only my super close friends know who he is. I would say majority of people don't know who I like romantically, because I tend to be very private in that nature. They’re the only ones where I can write something and they’d know exactly who/what I’m referring to. People may not realise it, but I'm actually a very passionate and romantic type of person yet very few people get to see that side of me and I kind of like that about myself. But in general, I think there is no better way to tell someone how you feel than to write a song for them.
