From Eden

Written by Hozier
Babe, there's something tragic about you Something so magic about you Don't you agree?
Babe, there's something lonesome about you Something so wholesome about you Get closer to me
No tired sighs, no rolling eyes, no irony No 'who cares', no vacant stares, no time for me
Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me I should know I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door
Babe, there's something wretched about this Something so precious about this
[Live version inclusion: Where to begin
Babe, there's something broken about this But I might be hoping about this.]
Oh, what a sin
To the strand a picnic plan for you and me A rope in hand for your other man to hang from a tree
Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me I should know I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door
Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me I should know I slithered here from Eden just to hide outside your door
