Cornelia Street

We were in the backseat

Drunk on something stronger

than the drinks in the bar

I rent a place on Cornelia Street

I said casually in the car

We were a fresh page on the desk

Filling in the blanks as we go

As if the street lights pointed

in an arrow head

Leading us home

And I hope I never lose you

hope it never ends

I'd never walk

Cornelia Street again

That's the kinda heartbreak time

could never mend

I'd never walk

Cornelia Street again

And baby I get mystified

by how this city screams your name

And baby I'm so terrified

of if you ever walk away

I'd never walk

Cornelia Street again

I'd never walk

Cornelia Street again

Windows swung right open

autumn air

Jacket 'round my shoulders is yours

We bless the rains

on Cornelia Street

Memorize the creaks in the floor

Back when we were card sharks

playing games

I thought you were leading me on

I packed my bags

left Cornelia Street

Before you even knew I was gone

But then you called

showed your hand

I turned around before

I hit the tunnel

Sat on the roof you and I

I hope I never lose you

hope it never ends

I'd never walk

Cornelia Street again

That's the kinda heartbreak time

could never mend

I'd never walk

Cornelia Street again

And baby I get mystified

by how this city screams your name

And baby I'm so terrified

of if you ever walk away

I'd never walk

Cornelia Street again

I'd never walk

Cornelia Street again

You hold my hand on the street

Walk me back to that apartment

Years ago we were just inside

Barefoot in the kitchen

Sacred new beginnings

That became my religion listen

I hope I never lose you

I'd never walk

Cornelia Street again

Oh never again

And baby I get mystified

by how this city screams your name

And baby I'm so terrified

of if you ever walk away

I'd never walk

Cornelia Street again

I'd never walk

Cornelia Street again

I don't wanna lose you

Hope it never ends

I'd never walk

Cornelia Street again

I don't wanna lose you

Yeah

I rent a place on Cornelia Street

I said casually in the car
