coney island Lyrics – Taylor Swift: Presenting the lyrics of the song “coney island” from the Album evermore sung by Taylor Swift and featuring The National. This song is produced by Bryce Dessner & Aaron Dessner.
“coney island” marks Swift’s first collaboration with The National after working heavily with band member Aaron Dessner on both the writing and production of evermore and folklore.
The lyrics contrast with the title location itself–Coney Island–a neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York that is famous as a tourist destination for its lively carnival park setting. Additionally, the community district is Brooklyn 13, a number that is particularly special to Swift.
coney island Lyrics – Taylor Swift
Break my soul in two looking for youBut you’re right hereIf I can’t relate to you anymoreThen who am I related to?And if this is the long haulHow’d we get here so soon?Did I close my fist around something delicate?Did I shatter you?And I’m sitting on a bench in Coney IslandWondering where did my baby go?The fast times, the bright lights, the merry goSorry for not making you my centerfoldOver and overLost again with no surprisesDisappointments, close your eyesAnd it gets colder and colderWhen the sun goes downThe question pounds my headWhat’s a lifetime of achievementIf I pushed you to the edge?But you were too polite to leave meAnd do you miss the rogueWho coaxed you into paradise and left you there?Will you forgive my soulWhen you’re too wise to trust me and too old to care?‘Cause we were like the mall before the internetIt was the one place to beThe mischief, the gift-wrapped suburban dreamsSorry for not winning you an arcade ringOver and overLost again with no surprisesDisappointments, close your eyesAnd it gets colder and colderWhen the sun goes downWere you waiting at our old spotIn the tree lineBy the gold clockDid I leave you hanging every single day?Were you standing in the hallwayWith a big cake, happy birthdayDid I paint your bluest skies the darkest grey?A universe awayAnd when I got into the accidentThe sight that flashed before me was your faceBut when I walked up to the podium, I think that I forgot to say your nameI’m on a bench in Coney IslandWondering where did my baby go?The fast times, the bright lights, the merry goSorry for not making you my centerfoldOver and overLost again with no surprisesDisappointments, close your eyesAnd it gets colder and colderWhen the sun goes downWhen the sun goes downThe sight that flashed before me was your faceWhen the sun goes downBut I think that I forgot to say your nameOver and overSorry for not making you my, making you myMaking you my centerfold
