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
 Memorise 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 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
 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)
