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.
