This song about a romance is titled after the city of Verona, Italy, where Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet takes place. There are several references to Shakespeare’s famous tragedy in the second verse, such as the potion that Juliet drinks, the poison that Romeo drinks, and the dagger that Juliet use...
[Verse 1]
Tangled in the sunlight
Pretending we can with the clock strike
Yeah I see storms in your eye
The little leftover from last night
[Chorus]
If it's in your heart it's hard to find
But I can't stop looking since you found me attractive
I can't get past it
If it's in the deep blue of your sky
Stay awake 'til morning, you can hold me captive
Tell me without asking
[Post-Chorus]
And I need you now
Cause baby I got nowhere to go
And I need you now
Cause baby I got nowhere
[Verse 2]
Deeper than devotion
I don't need cigarettes when I've got your potion
Ooh pour a little poison
And I'm another dagger that you've been holding
[Chorus]
If it's in your heart it's hard to find
But I can't stop looking since you found me attractive
I can't get past it
If it's in the deep blue of your sky
Stay awake 'til morning, you can hold me captive
Tell me without asking
[Post-Chorus]
And I need you now
Cause baby I got nowhere to go
And I need you now
Cause baby I got nowhere
Cause baby I got nowhere
[Bridge]
I watched the flame around your tongue
You spark a fire, forever young
And now I'm burning for it
You got me burning for it
Kiss me again with more red wine
I'll stop and stay without goodbye
You got me hurting for it
You got me hurting for it
You got me burning now I'm hurting for it
You got me burning, you got me hurting
Kiss me again
[Post-Chorus]
And I need you now
Cause baby I got nowhere to go
And I need you now
Cause baby I got nowhere to go
And I need you now
Cause baby I got nowhere

I believe songwriting at its purest will always be storytelling. The ‘best’ songs in turn, ending up writing themselves because they wish to be told. They have been buried. Forgotten. Or simply become all too familiar and beg to be reimagined for the sake of human experience.
