First Time Hozier

[Verse 1]
Remember once I told you about
How before I heard it from your mouth
My name would always hit my ears as such an awful sound?
And the soul, if that's what you'd call it
Uneasy ally of the body, it felt nameless as a river
Undiscovered underground

[Pre-Chorus]
And the first time that you kissed me
I drank dry the River Lethe
The Liffey would have been softer on my stomach all the same
But you spoke some quick new music
That went so far to soothe this soul
As it was and ever shall be, unearth without a name

[Chorus]
Some part of me must have died
The first time that you called me "baby"
And some part of me came alive
The first time that you called me "baby"

[Verse 2]
These days, I think I owe my life
To flowers that were left here by my mother
Ain't that like them, giftin' life to you again
This life lived mostly underground
Unknowin' either sight nor sound
Till reachin' up for sunlight just to be ripped out by the stem
