Cornelia Street

Taylor Swift - 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 say casually in the car

We were a fresh page on the desk
filling in the blanks as we go

As if the streetlights pointed in an arrowhead
leading us home

And I hope I never lose you
Hope it never ends
I’d never walk Cornelia Street again

That’s the kind of 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 flung 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

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 

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’d never walk Cornelia Street again

I rent a place on Cornelia Street,
I say casually in the car
