(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
Niz blok postoji antikvarnica
I nešto mi je u mojoj glavi, rekao da sam ušao
Na šalteru bila je kartonska kutija
A znak je rekao: "Fotografije dvadeset pet centi
Crno-bijelo, ugledale su mladenke u tridesetima i školskim ljubiteljima koji su se smijali trijemu svoje prve kuće
Nekako voli da se nađeš samo jednom u životu
Vrsta koju ne odlažeš
I tada sam te zvao i tako je teško objasniti, ali na onim fotografijama koje sam nas vidio umjesto toga
I nekako znam da se ti i ja nađemo
U drugom životu, još uvek bi mi okrenula glavu
Čak i ako bismo se upoznali
[Chorus]
Na prepunoj ulici 1944. godine
I krenuli ste u borbu u ratu
Još si moj
Bili bismo bezvremenski
Pročitao bih tvoju ljubavna pisma svake večeri
I molio se Bogu da bi se vratio kući u redu
I ti bi bio dobro
Bili bismo bezvremenski
Jer vjerujem da smo trebali ovo pronaći
Pa čak i u drugom životu, još uvijek biste i dalje bili moj
Bili bismo bezvremenski
[VERSE 2]
Morao sam se nasmiješiti kad mi je uhvatilo pogled
Na prilazu je bio jedan od tinejdžerke
Držeći se na putu do plesa i datuma na leđa, rekao je 1958. godine
Koja me vratila u prvi put kad sam te vidio
Vrijeme je stajalo još uvijek mi se nešto sviđa u ovoj stari radnji
Razmislio sam o tome dok sam počeo da gledam u ove dragocjene stvari koje su vrijeme zaboravele
Tada sam došao na knjigu prekrivenu kobmi
Priča o romansu razdvojena sudbinom
Prije stotine godina zaljubio su se kao mi
I umro bih za tebe na isti način
Ako sam prvi put vidio vaše lice
[Chorus]
U petnaest stotinama u stranoj zemlji
I bio sam prisiljen udati se za drugog muškarca
Još si moj
Bili bismo bezvremenski
Pročitao bih tvoju ljubavna pisma svake večeri
I pobjeći i ostavio sve iza
Još si moj
Bili bismo bezvremenski
Jer vjerujem da smo trebali ovo pronaći
Pa čak i u drugom životu
Još si moj
Bili bismo bezvremenski
[Bridge]
Vrijeme razbija vaš um i tijelo
Ne dozvolite da dodirne vašu dušu
Bilo je to kao starost stara klasika
Prvi put kad ste me videli
Priča je počela kad ste rekli "Zdravo"
U prepunoj sobi pre nekoliko godina
A ponekad nema dokaza, samo znate
Uvijek ćeš biti moj
Bićemo ...
Voljet ću te kad naša kosa okreće sivu
Imat ćemo kartonsku kutiju fotografija života koji smo napravili
I reći ćeš: "Oh, stvarno smo bili bezvremeni"
[Hrous]
Bićemo bezvremenski
Bezvremenski
Još si moj
Bili bismo bili
Čak i da smo se sreli u prepunoj ulici 1944. godine
Još si moj
Bili bismo bili
