Lyrics of coney island (feat. The National) by Taylor Swift,The National
verse
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?
verse
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?
pre-chorus
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
chorus
Over and over
Lost again with no surprises
Disappointments close your eyes
And it gets colder and colder
When the sun goes down
verse
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
verse
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?
pre-chorus
'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
chorus
Over and over
Lost again with no surprises
Disappointments close your eyes
And it gets colder and colder
When the sun goes down
bridge
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 gray?
A universe away
bridge
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
pre-chorus
I'm 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
chorus
Over and over
Lost again with no surprises
Disappointments close your eyes
And it gets colder and colder
When the sun goes down
outro
When the sun goes down
The sight that flashed before me was your face
When the sun goes down
But I think that I forgot to say your name
Over and over
Sorry for not making you my, making you my
Making you my centerfold
Writer(s): Bryce David Dessner, Aaron Brooking Dessner, Taylor A. Swift, William Bowery
