Chords.

We were living carefree,

lost in something brighter than the lights from afar

“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 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 swung right open, autumn air,

jacket ’round my shoulders is yours.

We chase the rains on Cornelia Street,

memorize the creaks in the floor.

Back when we were rock stars, playing games,

I thought you were cheering me on.

I packed my bags, left Cornelia Street

before you even knew I was gone.
But then you called, gave 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,

hopeful new beginnings,
that became my tradition, listen.

I hope I never lose you…

I’d never walk Cornelia Street again,
oh, never again…

Cuz 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,

I don’t wanna lose you.

“I rent a place on Cornelia Street”

I say casually in the car.
