Fare Well Lyrics – Hozier
Fare Well Song Lyrics
[Verse 1: Hozier]
I, I wouldn't fare well
And I, I couldn't fare well
Hedgehog-under-a-van-wheel kind of wouldn't fare well
Out here trying to feel good again
And I, I wouldn't fare well
A kitten-cosy-in-the-engine type of wouldn't fare well
Dog-deep-into-the-chocolate kind of wouldn't fare well
Out here trying to feel good again
[Chorus: Hozier]
I'll take any high
Any glazing of the eyes
Any solitary pleasure that was sorrow in disguise
Let the sun only shine on me through a falling sky
I'll be alright
[Post-Chorus: Hozier]
Joy, disaster, come unbound here
I'll deny me none while I'm allowed
With all things above the ground
[Verse 2: Hozier]
And I, I wouldn't fare well
A whale-swimming-up-Sumida-Gawa wouldn't fare well
Critic-hoping-to-be-remembered wouldn't fare well
Out here trying to feel good again
[Chorus: Hozier]
I'll take any high
Any glazing of the eyes
Any solitary pleasure that was sorrow in disguise
Let the sun only shine on me through a falling sky
I'll be alright
[Post-Chorus: Hozier]
Joy, disaster, come unbound here
I'll deny me none while I'm allowed
With all things above the ground
