Hozier - Someone New

Don't take this the wrong way,
You knew who I was with every step that I ran to you,
Only blue or black days
Electing strange perfections in any stranger I choose

Would things be easier if there was a right way, honey there is no right way...

And so I fall in love just a little oh little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little oh little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little oh little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little oh little bit every day with someone new

There's an art to life's distraction,
Somehow escape the burning wave the art of scraping through
Some like to imagine the dark caress of someone else I guess any thrill will do

Would things be easier if there was a right way, honey there is no right way...

And so I fall in love just a little oh little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little oh little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little oh little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little oh little bit every day with someone new

I wake at the first cringe of morning
And my heart's already sinned
How pure, how sweet your love Aretha, can you pray for him

Cause God knows I fall just a little oh little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little oh little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little oh little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little oh little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little oh little bit every day with someone new

Love with every stranger the stranger the better
Love with every stranger the stranger the better
Love with every stranger the stranger the better
Love with every stranger the stranger the better

I fall in love just a little oh little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little oh little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little oh little bit every day with someone new

"Someone New" is a song recorded by Irish singer-songwriter Hozier for his 2014 eponymous debut studio album. It was released on 2 March 2015 as the fifth single from the record and peaked at number 13 on the Irish Singles Chart. An accompanying music video was released featuring actress Natalie Dormer. "Someone New" is a pop-soul song listed as the fourth track on the album, written by Hozier and Sallay Matu Garnett. It was the oldest song from Hozier's previous demos to make it onto the album; he has stated that it is the track that "resonated with him the least" by release. The song has indie-rock influences with a pizzicato bass, distorted chord progressions, and choral harmonies intertwined with echoing vocals. The lyrics are tongue-in-cheek and have an "overarching theme of love and theistic conflict" and are described as "uplifting" and a confession of his "wandering ways", describing the act of falling in love with strangers. Hozier has stated that it is a "love song ... about love at its most empty and vacuous and futile." The song peaked at number 7 on the Billboard Hot Rock and Alternative Songs Chart, and appeared within the top thirty on the Billboard Adult Contemporary, Adult Top 40, Alternative Airplay, and Rock Airplay charts, respectively. "Someone New" peaked at number 13 on the Irish Singles Chart and scored charting positions in the United Kingdom, Scotland and Canada.
