To Be Alone

Album: Hozier (2014)

  • Never feel too good in crowds
    With folks around
    When they're playing
    The anthems of rape culture loud
    Crude and proud
    Creatures baying
    All I've ever done is hide
    From our times
    When you're near me
    Honey, when you kill the lights
    And kiss my eyes
    I feel like a person for a moment of my life

    But you don't know what hell you put me through
    To have someone kiss the skin that crawls from you
    To feel your weight in arms I'd never use
    It's the god that heroin prays to

    It feels good, girl, it feels good
    It feels good, girl, it feels good
    It feels good, girl, it feels good
    Oh to be alone with you

    There are questions I can't ask
    Now at last
    The worst is over
    See the way you hold yourself
    Reel against
    Your body's borders
    I know that you hate this place
    Not a trace
    Of me would argue
    Honey, we should run away
    Oh someday
    Our baby and her momma
    And the damaged love she make

    But I don't know what else that I would give
    Than try to kiss the skin that crawls from you
    Then feel your weight in arms I'd never use
    It's the god that heroin prays to

    It feels good, girl, it feels good
    It feels good, girl, it feels good
    It feels good, girl, it feels good
    Oh to be alone with you

    It feels good, girl, it feels good
    It feels good, girl, it feels good
    It feels good, girl, it feels good
    Oh to be alone with you Writer/s: Andrew Hozier Byrne, Junior Kimbrough
