Timeless (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 25 cents each

Black and white saw a 30s bride and

Two lovers laughing on the porch of their first house

The kind of 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've 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 a 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 up in a foreign land

And I was forced to marry another man

You still would've been mine

We would've been timeless

I would've 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
