  1. We were in the backseat

  2. Drunk on something stronger

  3. Than the drinks in the bar

  4. "I rent a place on Cornelia Street"

  5. I say casually in the car

  6. We were a fresh page on the desk

  7. Filling in the blanks as we go

  8. As if the streetlights pointed in an arrowhead

  1. Leading us home

  2. And I hope I never lose you

  3. Hope it never ends

  4. I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

  5. That's the kind of heartbreak time could never mend

  6. I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

  7. And baby, I get mystified by how

  8. This city screams your name

  9. And baby, I'm so terrified of if you ever walk away

  10. I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

  11. I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

  12. Windows flung right open

  13. Autumn air, jacket round my shoulders is yours

  14. We bless the rains on Cornelia Street

  15. Memorise the creaks in the floor

  16. Back when we were card sharks, playing games

  17. I thought you were leading me on

  18. I packed my bags, left Cornelia Street

  19. Before you even knew I was gone

  20. But then you called

  21. Showed your hand

  22. I turned around before I hit the tunnel

  23. Sat on the roof, you and I

  24. I hope I never lose you

  25. Hope it never ends

  26. I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

  27. That's the kind of heartbreak time could never mend

  28. I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

  29. And baby, I get mystified by how

  30. This city screams your name

  31. And baby, I'm so terrified of if you ever walk away

  32. I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

  33. I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

  34. You hold my hand on the street

  35. Walk me back to that apartment

  36. Years ago we were just inside

  37. Barefoot in the kitchen

  38. Sacred new beginnings

  39. That became my religion

  40. Listen...

  41. I hope I never lose you

  42. I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

  43. Oh, never again

  44. And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name

  45. And baby, I'm so terrified of if you ever walk away

  46. I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

  47. I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

  48. I don't wanna lose you (hope it never ends)

  49. I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

  50. I don't wanna lose you (yeah)

  51. "I rent a place on Cornelia Street"

  52. I said casually in the car

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)

"I rent a place on Cornelia Street"

I said casually in the car
