(Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault) | Down the block there's an antique shop
And something in my head said stop, so I walked in
On the counter was a cardboard box
And the sign said, 'Photos twenty five cents each
Black and white, saw a thirties bride and school lovers laughing on the porch of their first house
The kinda love that you only find once in a lifetime
The kind you don't put down
And that's when I called you and it's so hard to explain, but in those photos I saw us instead
And somehow I know that you and I would've found each other
In another life, you still would've turned my head
Even if we'd met
[Chorus]
On a crowded street in 1944
And you were headed off to fight in the war
You still would've been mine
We would have been timeless
I would've read your love letters every single night
And prayed to God you'd be coming home all right
And you would've been fine
We would have been timeless
Cause I believe that we were supposed to find this
So even in a different life, you still would've still been mine
We would've been timeless
[Verse 2]
I had to smile when it caught my eye
There was one of a teenage couple on the driveway
Holding hands on the way to a dance and the date on the back said 1958
Which brought me back to the first time I saw you
Time stood still like something in this old shop
I thought about it as I started looking 'round at these precious things that time forgot
That's when I came upon a book covered in cobwebs
Story of a romance torn apart by fate
Hundreds of years ago they fell in love like we did
And I'd die for you in the same way
If I first saw your face
[Chorus]
In the fifteen hundreds off in a foreign land
And I was forced to marry another man
You still would've been mine
We would have been timeless
I would have read your love letters every single night
And run away and left it all behind
You still would've been mine
We would've been timeless
Cause I believe that we were supposed to find this
So even in a different life
You still would've been mine
We would've been timeless
[Bridge]
Time breaks down your mind and body
Don't you let it touch your soul
It was like an age old classic
The first time that you saw me
The story started when you said "hello"
In a crowded room a few short years ago
And sometimes there's no proof, you just know
You're always gonna be mine
We're gonna be...
I'm gonna love you when our hair is turning grey
We'll have a cardboard box of photos of the life we made
And you'll say, "Oh my, we really were timeless"
[Chrous]
We're gonna be timeless
Timeless
You still would've been mine
We would've been
Even if we'd met on a crowded street in 1944
You still would've been mine
We would've been
[Outro]
Down the block there's an antique shop
And something in my head said stop, so I walked in
Navzdol v bloku je starinska trgovina
In nekaj v moji glavi mi je reklo Nehaj, zato sem stopil
Na pultu je bila kartonska škatla
In znak je rekel: "Fotografije po petindvajset centov
Črno -belo, zagledali so trideseta nevesta in ljubitelji šole, ki so se smejali na verandi svoje prve hiše
Nekako ljubezen, ki jo najdete samo enkrat v življenju
Takšnega, ki ga ne odložite
In takrat sem te poklical in tako težko je razložiti, toda na tistih fotografijah sem nas videl
In nekako vem, da bi se z vami našla
V drugem življenju bi mi še vedno obrnil glavo
Tudi če bi se srečali
[Refren]
Na gneči ulice leta 1944
In odpeljali ste se v vojno
Še vedno bi bil moj
Bili bi brezčasni
Vsak večer bi prebral tvoja ljubezenska pisma
In molil Bogu, da bi se vrnil domov v redu
In bi bilo v redu
Bili bi brezčasni
Ker verjamem, da bi morali to najti
Torej, tudi v drugem življenju, še vedno bi bil moj
Bili bi brezčasni
[Verz 2]
Moral sem se nasmehniti, ko mi je zajelo oko
Na dovozu je bil eden najstniških parov
Drži se na poti do plesa in datuma na zadnji strani leta 1958
Kar me je vrnilo nazaj, ko sem te videl
Čas je še vedno stal kot nekaj v tej stari trgovini
O tem sem razmišljal, ko sem začel gledati na te dragocene stvari, ki sem jih pozabil
Takrat sem naletel na knjigo, zajeto s pajčevimi
Zgodba o romantiki, raztrgana z usodo
Pred stotimi leti so se zaljubili kot mi
In umrl bi zate na enak način
Če sem prvič videl tvoj obraz
[Refren]
V petnajstih stotih v tuji deželi
In bil sem prisiljen poročiti drugega moškega
Še vedno bi bil moj
Bili bi brezčasni
Vsak večer bi prebral tvoja ljubezenska pisma
In pobegnite in pustite vse za seboj
Še vedno bi bil moj
Bili bi brezčasni
Ker verjamem, da bi morali to najti
Torej tudi v drugem življenju
Še vedno bi bil moj
Bili bi brezčasni
[Most]
Čas vam razbije um in telo
Ali ne dovolite, da se dotakne vaše duše
Bilo je kot starostna klasika
Prvič, ko ste me videli
Zgodba se je začela, ko ste rekli "Pozdravljeni"
V gneči sobi pred nekaj kratkimi leti
In včasih ni dokazov, samo veste
Vedno boš moja
Bomo ...
Ljubil te bom, ko naši lasje postanejo sivi
Imeli bomo kartonsko škatlo fotografij življenja, ki smo ga naredili
In rekli boste: "O moj, res smo bili brezčasni"
[Crous]
Bomo brezčasni
Brezčasna
Še vedno bi bil moj
Bili bi
Tudi če bi se leta 1944 srečali na gneči
Še vedno bi bil moj
Bili bi
