In a foreign place   The saving grace was the feeling   That it was her heart that he was stealing   He was ready to impress   And the fierce excitement   The eyes are bright   He couldn't wait to get away   And I bet that Juliet was just the icing on the cake   Make no mistake, no   And even somehow he 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   But all the little promise that 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 true romance can't be achieved these days   And even if somehow they 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
