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
In another time
