Lyrics

Corina, Corina
write a verse for me
make it sad, make it lewd
above all, would you make it true
Corina & I'll write for you

I met you in the mountains out west
on a train bound for the San Francisco Bay
a poet I was told, you said you thought my words were bold
& your voice left me with nothing to say

Corina, Corina
write a verse for me
make it sad, make it lewd
above all, would you make it true
Corina & I'll write for you

then you told me some words I won't forget
you said, "nothing in your life will go to plan"
but I was young & I was mean, I'd wrung my heart out of my sleeve
& it was years before I'd be any kind of man

Corina, Corina
write a verse for me
make it sad, make it lewd
above all, would you make it true
Corina & I'll write for you

& I was there when the earth swallowed you whole
I'd quit using my highs to fix my lows
we never said goodbye, & you never saw me cry
& it always ends this way, I suppose

Corina, Corina
write a verse for me
make it sad, make it lewd
above all, would you make it true
Corina & I'll write for you
