Lyrics of Cornelia Street by Taylor Swift
verse
We were in the backseat
Drunk on something stronger
Than the drinks in the bar
hook
"I rent a place on Cornelia Street"
I say casually in the car
verse
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
chorus
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
verse
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
chorus
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
bridge
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...
chorus
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
verse
I don′t wanna lose you (hope it never ends)
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
I don′t wanna lose you (yeah)
outro
"I rent a place on Cornelia Street"
I said casually in the car
