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 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
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 rent a place on Cornelia Street" I said casually in the car
