Timeless (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault)
[00:14.10] Down the block, there's an antique shop
[00:16.49] And something in my head said, "Stop," so I walked in
[00:20.52] On the counter was a cardboard box
[00:23.52] And the sign said, "Photos: twenty-five cents each"
[00:27.52] Black and white, saw a 30s bride
[00:29.91] And school lovers laughin' on the porch of their first house
[00:33.65] The kinda love that you only find once in a lifetime
[00:38.20] The kind you don't put down
[00:40.86] And that's when I called you and it's so hard to explain
[00:46.47] But in those photos, I saw us instead
[00:52.85] *
[00:54.44] And, somehow, I know that you and I would've found each other
[01:00.02] *
[01:01.09] In another life, you still would've turned my head even if wе'd met
[01:07.19] On a crowded street in 1944
[01:10.91] And you werе headed off to fight in the war
[01:14.11] You still would've been mine
[01:15.95] We would have been timeless
[01:19.68] *
[01:20.21] I would've read your love letters every single night
[01:24.19] And prayed to God you'd be comin' home all right
[01:27.92] And you would've been fine
[01:29.52] We would have been timeless
[01:32.98] *
[01:33.79] 'Cause I believe that we were supposed to find this
[01:38.86] So, even in a different life,
[01:41.25] You still would've been mine
[01:43.11] We would've been timeless
[01:47.63] *
[01:57.99] I had to smile when it caught my eye
[02:00.66] There was one of a teenage couple in the driveway
[02:04.65] Holdin' hands on the way to a dance
[02:07.30] And the date on the back said 1958
[02:11.31] Which brought me back to the first time I saw you
[02:14.49] Time stood still like somethin' in this old shop
[02:17.95] I thought about it as I started lookin' 'round
[02:20.89] At these precious things that time forgot
[02:24.33] *
[02:25.13] That's when I came upon a book covered in cobwebs
[02:31.24] Story of a romance torn apart by fate
[02:35.75] *
[02:38.41] Hundreds of years ago, they fell in love, like we did
[02:44.52] And I'd die for you in the same way if I first saw your face
[02:51.17] In the fifteen hundreds off in a foreign land
[02:54.89] And I was forced to marry another man
[02:58.36] You still would've been mine
[03:00.23] We would have been timeless
[03:03.67] *
[03:04.48] I would've read your love letters every single night
[03:08.47] And run away and left it all behind
[03:11.91] You still would've been mine
[03:13.51] We would've been timeless
[03:16.96] *
[03:18.04] 'Cause I believe that we were supposed to find this
[03:23.09] So, even in a different life,
[03:25.21] You still would've been mine
[03:27.07] We would've been timeless
[03:31.05] *
[03:41.71] Time breaks down your mind and body
[03:48.63] Don't you let it touch your soul
[03:52.88] *
[03:54.74] It was like an age-old classic
[03:58.19] The first time that you saw me
[04:01.11] *
[04:01.91] The story started when you said, "Hello"
[04:06.42] *
[04:08.29] In a crowded room a few short years ago
[04:12.08] And sometimes there's no proof, you just know
[04:15.53] You're always gonna be mine
[04:17.39] We're gonna be
[04:19.78] *
[04:21.65] I'm gonna love you when our hair is turnin' gray
[04:25.35] We'll have a cardboard box of photos of the life we've made
[04:29.09] And you'll say, "Oh my, we really were timeless"
[04:34.40] *
[04:34.68] We're gonna be timeless, timeless
[04:42.14] You still would've been mine
[04:44.27] We would've been
[04:46.38] *
[04:47.45] Even if we'd met on a crowded street in 1944
[04:53.56] *
[04:55.95] You still would've been mine
[04:58.07] We would've been
[04:59.93] *
[05:02.86] Down the block, there's an antique shop
[05:05.25] And somethin' in my head said, "Stop," so I walked in
[05:10.03] *
