[Intro]

   


[Verse 1]

              
We were in the

 
 backseat
              
Drunk on somet

          
hing stronger 

              
than the drink

          
s in the bar
          
"I rent a plac

e on Cornelia 

Street"
          
I say casually

         
 in the car
          
We were a fres

h page on the 

desk
          
Filling in the

              
 blanks as we 

 
go
             
As if the stre

              
et lights poin

           
ted in an arro

#
w head
             
Leading us hom

 
e


[Pre-Chorus]

              
And I hope I n

            
ever lose you,

              
 hope it never

 
 ends
              
I'd never walk

          
 Cornelia Stre

   
et again
              
That's the kin

            
da heartbreak 

              
time could nev

   
er mend
              
I'd never walk

          
 Cornelia Stre

   
et again


[Chorus]

             
And baby, I ge

          
t mystified by

           
 how this city

              
 screams your 

     
name
             
And baby, I'm 

          
so terrified o

         
f if you ever 

walk away
         
I'd never walk

              
 Cornelia Stre

[Verse 2]

              
Windows flung 

      
right open, au

tumn air
          
Jacket 'round 

              
my shoulders i

     
s yours
             
We bless the r

ains on Cornel

ia Street
          
Memorize the c

             
reaks in the f

   
loor
              
Back when we w

    
ere card shark

s, playing gam

es
          
I thought you 

              
were leading m

    
e on
            
I packed my ba

gs, left Corne

lia Street
          
Before you eve

             
n knew I was g

  
one
             
But then you c


alled, showed 

your hand
         
I turned aroun

d before I hit

 the tunnel

Sat on the roo

f, you and I


[Pre-Chorus]

              
And I hope I n
