Hozier lines from Unreal, Unearth that mean so much to me, in no particular order:
Heaven is not fit to house a love like you and I
Once I wondered what was holding up the ground // but I can see that all along, love, it was you all the way down
So someone with your eyes // might come in time to hold me like water // Or, Christ, hold me like a knife
I wish I could say // that the river of my arms have found the ocean
So far from home to have a stranger call you “darlin” // and have your guarded heart be lifted like a child up by the hand
I want to be the last thing anyone ever sees // I hear he touches your hand and then you fly away together // If I had his job, you would live forever
I will not be great, but I’m grateful to get through
You called me “angel” for the first time, my heart leapt from me // you smile now, I can see its pieces still stuck in your teeth
Could this be how everyday begins? // The sky is set to burst, the gold and the rust // The color erupts
Put in all of that time only to find // By the end that your God has flown // Or all alone, he sank like a stone // took root where he fell and started to grow
Let the sun only shine on me through a falling sky
You take in the blackness of air // The likes of a darkness so deep // That God at the start couldn’t bear
No more than I was or than I want to be when you fall on me like night
I wouldn’t be seen walking through any door // some place that you’re not welcome to
Honorable mention (ik this one definitely gets its flowers):
Do you know I could break beneath the weight //Of the goodness, love, I still carry for you?
