Love To Love You

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.
