“Climb Up to My Window” is a modern take on “Rapunzel” and “Romeo & Juliet”. It places the narrator as a knight/prince that has to rescue a princess by climbing up to her window in the tower.
[Verse 1]
You were sitting on the back porch singing sad songs when you took my heart away
I was looking like a good knight on a white horse riding in to save the day
But it was sunset and I was too gone, way too lost and too afraid
And I was thinking I could stick around to learn your name
[Chorus]
She said, "If you really want me, climb on up and save me
Tell me all about how you've been blind
Tell me that you love me and you're thinking of me
You can never really want to waste the time
Because now and then I mess up but then I know I'll make the climb
So you can climb up to my window anytime"
[Verse 2]
Cause you were looking for the right one at the wrong time
And I was here to save the day
Well I was wishing on the wrong stars at the wrong ports
And you weren't playing any games
She said, "I've got the time and I'm worth the climb"
So I'm here to change her name
Maybe the songs that I've been singing
Will be the notes that she's been needing
[Chorus]
She said, "If you really want me, climb on up and save me
Tell me all about how you've been blind
Tell me that you love me and you're thinking of me
You can never really want to waste the time
Because now and then I mess up but then I know I'll make the climb
So you can climb up to my window anytime"
You can climb up to my window anytime"
[Bridge]
Pack your bags, dear Juliet
I'll turn up the music, let it all go out
We can hear the songs play soft and slow
I'll let my guard down, let your guard down
Pack your bags, dear Juliet
I'll turn up the music, let it all go out
We can hear the songs play soft and slow
I'll let my guard down, let your guard down
[Chorus]
So if you really want me, climb on up and save me
Tell me all about how you've been blind
Tell me that you love me, that you're thinking of me
You never really want to waste of time
Because now and then I mess up but then I know I'll make the climb
Cause you can climb up to my window anytime, yeah
You can climb up to my window anytime, yeah anytime
Cause you were sitting on the back porch singing sad songs when you took my heart away
