"Coney Island" Lyrics

 "Coney Island" Lyrics (Evermore album)

Written By Taylor Swift, William Bowery, Aaron Dessner, Bryce Dessner

[Taylor Swift]

Break my soul in two looking for you

But you're right here

If I can't relate to you anymore

Then who am I related to?

And if this is the long haul

How'd we get here so soon?

Did I close my fist around something delicate?

Did I shatter you?

[Taylor Swift]

And I'm sitting on a bench in Coney Island

Wondering where did my baby go?

The fast times, the bright lights, the merry go

Sorry for not making you my centerfold

[Taylor Swift]

Over and over

Lost again with no surprises

Disappointments, close your eyes

And it gets colder and colder

When the sun goes down

[Matt Berninger, & Taylor Swift]

The question pounds my head

What's a lifetime of achievement

If I pushed you to the edge?

But you were too polite to leave me

And do you miss the rogue

Who coaxed you into paradise and left you there?

Will you forgive my soul

When you're too wise to trust me and too old to care?

[Taylor Swift, & Matt Berninger]

'Cause we were like the mall before the internet

It was the one place to be

The mischief, the gift-wrapped suburban dreams

Sorry for not winning you an arcade ring

[Taylor Swift & Matt Berninger]

Over and over

Lost again with no surprises

Disappointments, close your eyes

And it gets colder and colder

When the sun goes down

[Taylor Swift, Matt Berninger]

Were you waiting at our old spot

In the tree line

By the gold clock

Did I leave you hanging every single day?

Were you standing in the hallway

With a big cake, happy birthday

Did I paint your bluest skies the darkest grey

A universe away

And when I got into the accident

The sight that flashed before me was your face

But when I walked up to the podium I think that I forgot to say your name
