(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
Nede på blokken er der en antik butik
Og noget i mit hoved sagde stop, så jeg gik ind
På tælleren var en papkasse
Og skiltet sagde: 'Fotos femogtyve cent hver
Sort og hvid, så en tredive brud og skolelskere grine på verandaen i deres første hus
Den slags kærlighed, som du kun finder en gang i livet
Den slags, du ikke lægger ned
Og det var da jeg ringede til dig, og det er så svært at forklare, men på disse fotos så jeg os i stedet
Og på en eller anden måde ved jeg, at du og jeg ville have fundet hinanden
I et andet liv ville du stadig have vendt mit hoved
Selvom vi havde mødt
[Kor]
På en overfyldt gade i 1944
Og du var på vej hen for at kæmpe i krigen
Du ville stadig have været min
Vi ville have været tidløse
Jeg ville have læst dine kærlighedsbreve hver eneste nat
Og bad til Gud, du ville komme hjem i orden
Og du ville have haft det godt
Vi ville have været tidløse
Fordi jeg tror, at vi skulle finde dette
Så selv i et andet liv ville du stadig have været mit
Vi ville have været tidløse
[Vers 2]
Jeg måtte smile, da det fangede mit øje
Der var et af et teenagepar på indkørslen
Holder hænderne på vej til en dans og datoen på bagsiden sagde 1958
Hvilket bragte mig tilbage til første gang jeg så dig
Tiden stod stille som noget i denne gamle butik
Jeg tænkte over det, da jeg begyndte at kigge rundt på disse dyrebare ting, den gang glemte
Det var da jeg kom på en bog dækket af spindelvev
Historien om en romantik revet fra hinanden af skæbnen
For hundreder af år siden blev de forelsket, som vi gjorde
Og jeg ville dø for dig på samme måde
Hvis jeg først så dit ansigt
[Kor]
I de femten hundreder i et fremmed land
Og jeg blev tvunget til at gifte mig med en anden mand
Du ville stadig have været min
Vi ville have været tidløse
Jeg ville have læst dine kærlighedsbreve hver eneste nat
Og løb væk og efterlod det hele
Du ville stadig have været min
Vi ville have været tidløse
Fordi jeg tror, at vi skulle finde dette
Så selv i et andet liv
Du ville stadig have været min
Vi ville have været tidløse
[Bro]
Tiden nedbryder dit sind og krop
Lad du ikke røre din sjæl
Det var som en ældgamle klassiker
Første gang du så mig
Historien startede, da du sagde "hej"
I et overfyldt rum for et par korte år siden
Og nogle gange er der ikke noget bevis, ved du bare
Du bliver altid min
Vi bliver ...
Jeg vil elske dig, når vores hår bliver gråt
Vi har en papkasse med fotos af det liv, vi lavede
Og du vil sige, "Åh min, vi var virkelig tidløse"
[Chrous]
Vi bliver tidløse
Tidløs
Du ville stadig have været min
Vi ville have været
Selvom vi havde mødt på en overfyldt gade i 1944
Du ville stadig have været min
Vi ville have været
[Outro]
Nede på blokken er der en antik butik
