(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
Dole po bloku je obchod so starožitnosťami
A niečo v mojej hlave povedalo zastávku, tak som vošiel dovnútra
Na pulte bola kartónová skrinka
A znamenie povedalo: „Fotografie dvadsaťpäť centov každý
Čiernobiele, uvideli tridsiateho nevesty a milovníkov škôl sa smiali na verande svojho prvého domu
Trochu lásky, ktorú nájdete iba raz za život
Druh, ktorý si neposkytuješ
A vtedy som ti zavolal a je to také ťažké vysvetliť, ale na tých fotografiách som nás videl namiesto toho
A nejako viem, že sa vy a ja sme sa našli
V inom živote by si mi stále otočil hlavu
Aj keď sme sa stretli
[Chorus]
Na preplnenej ulici v roku 1944
A vy ste vydali bojovať vo vojne
Stále by si bol môj
Boli by sme nadčasoví
Čítal by som tvoje milostné listy každú noc
A modlil som sa k Bohu, aby si sa vrátil domov v poriadku
A bol by si v poriadku
Boli by sme nadčasoví
Pretože verím, že sme to mali nájsť
Takže aj v inom živote by si bol stále môj
Boli by sme nadčasoví
[Verš 2]
Musel som sa usmievať, keď mi to upútalo
Na príjazdovej ceste bol jeden z dospievajúcich pár
Držte sa za ruky na ceste k tancu a dátum na chrbte povedal 1958
Čo ma priviedlo späť k prvýkrát, keď som ťa videl
Čas stál stále ako niečo v tomto starom obchode
Premýšľal som o tom, keď som sa začal pozerať na tieto vzácne veci, ktoré zabudol
Vtedy som prišiel na knihu pokrytú v pavučinách
Príbeh romantiky roztrhanej osudom
Pred stovkami rokov sa zamilovali ako my
A zomrel by som pre teba rovnakým spôsobom
Keby som prvýkrát videl tvoju tvár
[Chorus]
V pätnásti
A bol som nútený oženiť sa s iným mužom
Stále by si bol môj
Boli by sme nadčasoví
Čítal by som vaše milostné listy každú noc
A utečte a nechal to všetko za sebou
Stále by si bol môj
Boli by sme nadčasoví
Pretože verím, že sme to mali nájsť
Takže aj v inom živote
Stále by si bol môj
Boli by sme nadčasoví
[Most]
Čas rozbije vašu myseľ a telo
Nenecháš sa to dotknúť tvojej duše
Bolo to ako veková klasika
Prvýkrát, keď si ma videl
Príbeh sa začal, keď ste povedali „Ahoj“
V preplnenej miestnosti pred niekoľkými krátkymi rokmi
A niekedy nie je žiadny dôkaz, len viete
Vždy budeš môj
Budeme ...
Budem ťa milovať, keď sú naše vlasy sivé
Budeme mať kartónovú škatuľu fotografií života, ktorý sme vytvorili
A povieš: „Ó, môj, naozaj sme boli nadčasový“
[Chrous]
Budeme nadčasový
Nadčasový
Stále by si bol môj
Boli by sme
Aj keď sme sa stretli na preplnenej ulici v roku 1944
Stále by si bol môj
Boli by sme
[Outro]
Dole po bloku je obchod so starožitnosťami
