best fucking hozier lyrics in no particular order
we tried the world, good god, it wasn't for us
i slithered here from eden just to sit outside your door
after the foxes have known our taste, i'll be home with you, i'll be home with you
no grave can hold my body down, i'll crawl home to her
why were you digging, what did you bury, before those hands pulled me from the earth?
my dearest love, i'm not done yet
who could ask to be unbroken or be brave again?
whatever here that's left of me is yours just as it was
remember me love, when i'm reborn as the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
i'd be the dreadful need in the devotee that made him turn around, and i'd be the immediate forgiveness in eurydice
be like the love that discovered sin, but freed the first man and will do so again
be that hopeful feeling when eden was lost, that's been deaf to our laughter since the master was crossed
love, when the sea rises to meet us, oh, and there's nothing left for you and i to do
true that i saw her hair like the branch of a tree, willow dancing on air before covering me
and i love, too, that love soon might end, be known in its aching
be still, my indelible friend, you are unbreaking
the last time i felt your weight on my chest, you said "we didn't get it right, but love, we did our best"
and just knowing that everything will end should not change our plans
i would still be surprised i could find you, darling, in any life; if i could hold you for a minute, darling, i would do it again
heaven is not fit to house a love like you and i
