Hozier - Who We Are

[Intro]You only feel it when it's lostGetting through still has a costQuietly, it slips through your fingers, loveFalling from you drop by drop[Verse 1]What I had left hereI just held it tightSo someone with your eyesMight come in timeTo hold me like waterOr, Christ, hold me like a knife[Chorus]We're born at nightSo much of our livesIs just carving through the dark to get so farAnd the hardest partIs who we areIt's who we are[Verse 2]You and I burned out our steamChasing someone else's dreamHow can something be so much heavierBut so much less than what it seems?Darling, we sacrificedWe gave our time to something undefinedThis phantom life sharpens like an imageBut it sharpens like a knife[Chorus]We're born at nightSo much of our livesIs just carving through the dark to get so farAnd the hardest partIs who we areIt's who we are[Outro]You only feel it when it's lostGetting through still has its costQuietly, it slips through your fingers, loveFalling from you drop by drop
