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 & 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
In another time
