Through Me (The Flood) - Hozier

You're still a maybe So could you think about it rationally Just for me? I'll let you sleep on it and call me in the morning Oh baby, you know it's hard to find someone like you Think with your heart like you always do You can take your time, I promise it's fine Just be sure it's what you want and you've made up your mind I promise it's not the way that you think It's progress, would you agree? (Oh-oh-oh) Problem is I'm still asleep at the wheel But you're responsible, you're so responsible You know, you know me so well You know that all I ever think about myself Who knows what I want? It's never what I need And baby, you can see right through me (See right through me, see right through me) I promise it's not the way that you think It's progress, would you agree? (Oh-oh-oh) Problem is I'm still asleep at the wheel But you're responsible, you're so responsible My piece of mind, one of a kind Save it for when you have some kids and you've got no more time I think it hurts, I'm outta words But what the hell do I know? I'm not driving 'til it's light out Try to stop me now I'm fuckin' on one, ooh (on one) Out of control, but I won't let you out of my sight now I promise it's not the way that you think So let it rest and let's have a drink The truth is, I love the way that you feel 'Cause you're responsible, you're so responsible I promise it's not the way that you think It's progress, would you agree? (Oh-oh-oh) Problem is I'm still asleep at the wheel But you're responsible, you're so responsible I promise it's not the way that you think So let it rest and let's have a drink The truth is, I love the way that you feel 'Cause you're responsible, you're so responsible

Here comes the flood again Watch it fall from the sky Feel it soak through my flesh and my blood Feel it burn in my eyes When I say how much more can I take I know the water's rising up Watch the waves crest and break And though I may not make a sound I fear that I may drown I fear that I may drown Here comes the wind again Cold that cuts to the bone Pack my bags and I'll head out the door Here I am on my own When I say how much more can I stand? I know my walls are falling down I let the rocks who chose the sand And though I know one left to blame Still I cursed your name I cursed your name So now the end What I've been running from Though I've tried I cannot lift my head Oh, what have I become? When I say how much more can I take? I know my time is running short I am broken and I'm breaking Though I've worn myself so thin Coming home again And though I do not know my heart But I know myself into my bones But if my bones should come apart Then I'll have nothing left to give But if you take me in Coming home again And if you take me in Coming home again

Am I the one to hold This crown of ash and salt? Their kindness calls to me I have to block it out My voice has grown so somber These words don't seem like mine But the iron won't subside No matter, no matter what I try Am I raindrops in the flood? In this emptiness, in the storm If I falter, if I fall The wave inside my soul carries all I know Who can take my hand in the flood? A voice calls me forth Through darkness unknown My heart with silence burns Through solemnness and bone The edge beyond the shore This weight of wood and rot I long to reach the other To find, to find the path we lost Am I raindrops, in the flood? In this emptiness, in the storm If I'm broken, if I'm torn The wave inside my soul carries all I knew Who can take my hand in the flood?

There's paper scattered on the lawn Birds up on the line There's letters left unopened here There never is the time There's messages I should return And people I should call I'm still tripping over echoes Left lying in the hall There's a light comes Through the darkness Slowly to my eyes You can fall back here forever I just never realized Oh, time won't let me go And every night I know That you could pull me through You could always pull me through Even when I'm lying here Drowning in my blues You take the sting out of the rain And bring the sun back up again And you could always pull me through Oh, we stood outside together And we laughed like ancient friends Then we lay down in a field Just where the road begins and ends Well, I see you in the mirror And I watch you from afar My friends all think I'm crazy But I know the way things are Outside I hear voices Underneath the moon And I'm grateful for whatever breaks The silence of this room Oh, time won't let me go And every night I know That you could pull me through You could always pull me through Even when I'm lying here Drowning in my blues You take the sting out of the rain And bring the sun back up again Darling, you could always pull me through I hope you're traveling well now And there's stars over your head And I hope the river carries you Everywhere you said Well, I miss the way you look at me The way you wear your hair And I miss the conversations We left hanging in the air Oh, late at night I wake up Wonder what's been done But I know our life together Will go on and on You could pull me through You could always pull me through Wrap your arms around me And chase away my blues You could take the sting out of the rain And bring the sun back up again And you could always pull me through You could always pull me through

فوسط زحمة وناس كتير وطريق أنا ماشي فيه عكس السير وسط الطموح والأمل والتمني فاضلي خطوة توصلني فوسط حاجات ومكيفات بحاول أنسى كل اللي فات في وسط صدري ضلعي مكسور ومن خلاله قلبي شايف نور أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع فوسط الليل وأنا بعيد عن البشر شفت نور يشبه نور القمر بس القمر مسيره يفارق ويسيبني تاني مع الوحدة أحارب فوسط قصة حب يعني وهمية كان لازم أصدق اصل الوحدة قوية مش كل المشاعر حقيقية أنا شفت نور معرفتش اغمض عنيا أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع

One, two, three Why are you hanging on so tight To the rope that I'm hanging from? Off this island, this was an escape plan (this was an escape plan) Carefully timed it, so let me go And dive into the waves below Who tends the orchards? Who fixes up the gables? Emotional torture from the head of your high table Who fetches the water from the rocky mountain spring? And walk back down again to feel your words and their sharp sting And I'm getting fucking tired The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ended, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour You make me do too much labour Apologies from my tongue, and never yours Busy lapping from flowing cup and stabbing with your fork I know you're a smart man (I know you're a smart man), and weaponise The false incompetence, it's dominance under a guise If we had a daughter, I'd watch and could not save her The emotional torture, from the head of your high table She'd do what you taught her, she'd meet the same cruel fate So now I've gotta run, so I can undo this mistake At least I've gotta try The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ends, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then a virgin, nurse then a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid (The capillaries in my eyes are bursting) Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant (If our love died, would that be the worst thing?) Just an appendage, live to attend him (For somebody I thought was my saviour) So that he never lifts a finger (You sure make me do a whole lot of labour) 24-7, baby machine (The calloused skin on my hands is crackin') So he can live out his picket fence dreams (If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?) It's not an act of love if you make her (And the silence haunts our bed chamber) You make me do too much labour
