[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
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
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
And I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends
~#**************#~
Id never walk Cornelia Street again
~#**************#~
Thats the kinda heartbreak time could never mend
~#**************#~
Id never walk Cornelia Street again
~#**************#~
And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name
~#**************#~
And baby, Im so terrified of if you ever walk away
~#**************#~
Id never walk Cornelia Street again
~#**************#~
Id never walk Cornelia Street again
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
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
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
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
~#**************#~
Id never walk Cornelia Street again
~#**************#~
Thats the kinda heartbreak time could never mend
~#**************#~
Id never walk Cornelia Street again
~#**************#~
And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name (City screams your name)
~#**************#~
And baby, Im so terrified of if you ever walk away
~#**************#~
Id never walk Cornelia Street again
~#**************#~
Id 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
~#**************#~
Id never walk Cornelia Street again
~#**************#~
Oh, never again
~#**************#~
And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name (City screams your name)
~#**************#~
And baby, Im so terrified of if you ever walk away
~#**************#~
Id never walk Cornelia Street again
~#**************#~
Id never walk Cornelia Street again
~#**************#~
[Post-Chorus]
~#**************#~
I dont wanna lose you (Hope it never ends)
~#**************#~
Id never walk Cornelia Street again
~#**************#~
I dont wanna lose you (Yeah)
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
“I rent a place on Cornelia Street”
~#**************#~
I say casually in the car
