As It Was Lyrics

Name Taken - Hold On For Your Dearest Life Lyrics

As It Was by Hozier




As It Was
[Verse 1]
There is a roadway, muddy and foxgloved
Never I’d have life enough, my heart is screamin’ out
And in a few days I would be there, love
Ever here that’s left in me is yours just as it was

[Chorus]
Just as it was, baby
Before the otherness came
And I knew its name
The love, the dark, the light, the flame

[Verse 2]
Eyes at the heights of my baby
Let’s hope at the fight of my baby
The lights were as bright as my baby
But your love was unmoved

[Bridge]
And tell me if somehow some of it remained
How long you would wait for me?
How long I’ve been away
The shape that I’m in now, you’re shaping the doorway
Make your good love known to me
Just tell me about your day

[Chorus]
Just as it was, baby
Before the otherness came
And I knew its name
The love, the dark, the light, the shame

[Outro]
Eyes at the heights of my baby
And this hope at 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
Half as beautiful too
