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 its name
The drug, the dark, the light, the flame

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

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

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

The highs at the heights of my baby
And it's hold had the fight of my baby
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
