Seeing Romeo and Juliet Everywhere

Romeo and Juliet has a big impact on modern culture such as songs. I've been listening to the same song over and over again cause I really like this song. It is Somewhere Only we Know by Keane. while listening to this song I think of Romeo's perspective, how he feels about not seeing Juliet. Second verse is saying that he is ready to be committed, but committed to only one girl he truly loves. I think the "fallen tree" represents him, he's looking at himself. He wants to go to the place where he knew he loved her, and try and get those memories and feelings back. If Romeo and Juliet went to "somewhere only they knew" meaning forgetting the familiy feuds, then that is a place without any problems just for them two to love. Saying "this could be the end of everything", Romeo wants to be together but there are too many reasons why they shouldn't be together. He just wants to be in a relationship with Juliet, and forgets his other choices.

This is the Glee shortened version of this song.

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

So if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
So why don't we go

This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
