(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
Dolje u bloku nalazi se antikvarnica
I nešto mi je u glavi reklo da se zaustavi, pa sam ušao
Na šalteru je bila kartonska kutija
A znak je rekao: 'Fotografije dvadeset pet centi
Crno -bijelo, vidjeli su tridesete mladenke i ljubitelje škole kako se smiju na trijemu svoje prve kuće
Vrsta ljubavi koju nađete samo jednom u životu
Vrstu koju ne odložite
I tada sam te nazvao i tako je teško objasniti, ali na tim fotografijama sam nas vidio
I nekako znam da bismo se ti i ja pronašli
U drugom životu još uvijek bi mi okrenuo glavu
Čak i da smo se upoznali
[Zbor]
U prepunoj ulici 1944
I krenuli ste se boriti u ratu
I dalje biste bili moji
Bili bismo bezvremenski
Čitao bih vaša ljubavna pisma svake večeri
I molio se Bogu da biste se vratili kući u redu
I bilo bi dobro
Bili bismo bezvremenski
Jer vjerujem da smo ovo trebali pronaći
Dakle, čak i u drugom životu, još uvijek biste i dalje bili moji
Bili bismo bezvremenski
[Stih 2]
Morao sam se nasmiješiti kad me uhvatilo za oko
Na prilazu je bio jedan od tinejdžerskih para
Držeći se za ples i datum na leđima navedeni 1958
Što me vratilo na prvi put kad sam te vidio
Vrijeme je i dalje stajalo poput nečega u ovoj staroj trgovini
Razmišljao sam o tome dok sam počeo gledati 'oko ovih dragocjenih stvari koje je vrijeme zaboravio
Tada sam naišao na knjigu obuhvaćenu kaišom
Priča o romantičnoj razaranoj sudbini
Prije stotina godina zaljubio se kao i mi
I umro bih za tebe na isti način
Ako sam ti prvi put vidio lice
[Zbor]
U petnaest stotina popusta u stranoj zemlji
I bio sam prisiljen oženiti se s drugim muškarcem
I dalje biste bili moji
Bili bismo bezvremenski
Svake večeri čitao bih vaša ljubavna pisma
I pobjeći i sve to ostavi iza sebe
I dalje biste bili moji
Bili bismo bezvremenski
Jer vjerujem da smo ovo trebali pronaći
Pa čak i u drugom životu
I dalje biste bili moji
Bili bismo bezvremenski
[Most]
Vrijeme vam ruši um i tijelo
Ne dopustite da vam dodirne dušu
Bilo je to poput klasika starog doba
Prvi put kad ste me vidjeli
Priča je započela kad ste rekli "Pozdrav"
U prepunoj sobi prije nekoliko godina
A ponekad nema dokaza, samo znate
Uvijek ćeš biti moj
Bit ćemo ...
Voljet ću te kad naša kosa postane siva
Imat ćemo kartonsku kutiju fotografija života koji smo napravili
I reći ćete: "O, moj, stvarno smo bili bezvremenski"
[Chrous]
Bit ćemo bezvremenski
Bezvremenski
I dalje biste bili moji
Bili bismo
Čak i ako smo se 1944. sreli u prepunoj ulici
I dalje biste bili moji
Bili bismo
[Outro]
