Cornelia Street Song Lyrics by Taylor Swift
We were in the backseatDrunk on something stronger than the drinks in the bar“I rent a place on Cornelia Street”I say casually in the carWe were a fresh page on the deskFilling in the blanks as we goAs if the street lights pointed in an arrowheadLeading us home
And I hope I never lose you, hope it never endsI’d never walk Cornelia Street againThat’s the kind of heartbreak time could never mendI’d never walk Cornelia Street again
And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your nameAnd baby, I’m so terrified of if you ever walk awayI’d never walk Cornelia Street againI’d never walk Cornelia Street again
Windows swung right open, autumn airJacket ’round my shoulders is yoursWe bless the rains on Cornelia StreetMemorize the creaks in the floorBack when we were card sharks, playing gamesI thought you were leading me onI packed my bags, left Cornelia StreetBefore you even knew I was gone
But then you called, showed your handI turned around before I hit the tunnelSat on the roof, you and I
I hope I never lose you, hope it never endsI’d never walk Cornelia Street againThat’s the kind of heartbreak time could never mendI’d never walk Cornelia Street again
And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name (city screams your name)And baby, I’m so terrified of if you ever walk awayI’d never walk Cornelia Street againI’d never walk Cornelia Street again
You hold my hand on the streetWalk me back to that apartmentYears ago, we were just insideBarefoot in the kitchenSacred new beginningsThat became my religion, listen
I hope I never lose youI’d never walk Cornelia Street againOh, never again
And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your nameAnd baby, I’m so terrified of if you ever walk awayI’d never walk Cornelia Street againI’d never walk Cornelia Street again
I don’t wanna lose you, hope it never endsI’d never walk Cornelia Street againI don’t wanna lose you, yeah
“I rent a place on Cornelia Street”I say casually in the car
