I would love to love you
But I know that it would be wrong
You got someone waiting for you
Who's never done me no harm
I would love to touch you
Like a building on fire in my chest
So the only voice I turn to
Is the one I use to confess
It's already done, it's already done

I would hold my breath
I would take those steps
Out of your living room
And into the blue
So I hold my head
And I take what's left
You know I lost everything
The day I met you

I would love to love you
Like the movie that plays in my mind
Like the boy in Sons and Lovers
When he first sees the girl in white
It's already done the film's in the can

I would hold my breath
I would take those steps
Out of your living room
And into the street
So I hold my head
And I take what's left
You know I lost everything

The place in the world where we are free
In a different year in a different town
That isn't here, that isn't now
I can see your face, I can read your mind
In another place where you are mine
Where you are mine, in another time
