MOVEMENT
Hozier Lyrics

I still watch you when you're groovin'
I still gaze at you whenever you're dancing.

As if through water from the bottom of a pool
It seems like I'm observing you from underwater.

You're movin' without movin'
You're dancing effortlessly, like you're not even trying to move.

And when you move, I'm moved
When you dance, you move me emotionally.

You are a call to motion
Your movement is an invitation for me to move too.

There, all of you a verb in perfect view
Your whole being is an action, and it's beautiful to see.

Like Jonah on the ocean
Your dance is like Jonah's journey on the sea: powerful and meaningful.

When you move, I'm moved
Once again, your dance moves me emotionally.

When you move
Whenever you dance,

I'm put to mind of all that I wanna be
I'm reminded of all the things I aspire to do and become.

I could never define all that you are to me
It's impossible for me to articulate all the ways you impact me.

So move me, baby
So inspire me, my dear.

Shake like the bough of a willow tree
Dance fluidly and gracefully, like the branches of a willow tree swaying in the wind.

You do it naturally
You dance effortlessly and with ease.

You are the rite of movement
Your dance is the embodiment of movement itself.

Its reasonin' made lucid and cool
Your dance is clear and logical, yet also cool and impressive.

I know it's no improvement
I know I can't dance like you, despite my attempts to do so.

When you move, I move
Once again, your dance moves me emotionally.

When you move
Whenever you dance,

I can recall somethin' that's gone from me
I'm reminded of something that I feel I've lost or forgotten.

Honey, I'm put in awe of somethin' so flawed and free
My dear, I'm amazed by something that's both imperfect and spontaneous.

Like you've nothin' left to prove
Dance as if you have nothing to prove to anyone.

And nothin' to lose
Dance as if you have nothing to lose either.

Move like grey skies
Dance with a sense of melancholy and uncertainty, like the skies on a cloudy day.

Move like a bird of paradise
Dance with the grace and beauty of a tropical bird of paradise.

Move like an odd sight come out at night
Dance with a sense of strangeness and mystery, like a strange creature appearing at night.

So move me, baby
So inspire me, my dear.

Shake like the bough of a willow tree
Dance fluidly and gracefully, like the branches of a willow tree swaying in the wind.

You do it naturally
You dance effortlessly and with ease.
