Hozier - As It Was lyrics

There is a roadway, muddy and foxgloved
Whenever I'd have life enough
My heart is screamin' of
And in a few days I would be there, love
Whatever here that's left of me is
Yours just as it was

Just as it was, baby
Before the otherness came
And I knew it's name
The drug, the dark, the light, the flame

The highs hit the heights of my baby
And it's hold had the fight of my baby
And the lights were as bright as my baby
But your love was unmoved

Tell me if somehow, some of it remains
How long you would wait for me?
And how long I've been away
The shape that I'm in now
Your shape in the doorway
Make your good love known to me
Or just tell me 'bout your day

Just as it was, baby
Before the otherness came
And I knew it's name
The drug, the dark, the light, the shame

The highs hit the heights of my baby
And it's hold had the fight of my baby
And the lights were as bright as my baby
But your love was unmoved
And the sights were as stark as my baby
And the cold cut as sharp as my baby
And the nights were as dark as my baby
And half as beautiful too
