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 25 cents each

Black and white saw a '30s bride

And two 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

On a crowded street in 1944

And you were headed off to fight in the war

You still would've been mine

We would've 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 have been fine

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

I had to smile when it caught my eye

There was one of a teenage couple in 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

In the 1500s 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

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 gray

We'll have a cardboard box of photos of the life we've made

And you'll say

Oh my we really were timeless

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

Down the block there's an antique shop

And something in my head said stop

So I walked in
