Would That I by Hozier Song Info
“Would That I” is about love, and the destruction of love. It describes past romances as trees the protagonist used as shelter, and then a new interest as a fire that burns down those trees. Hozier explained the song to Apple Music: “It’s about somebody characterising all of their past romances, people that they cared for, as trees they took shelter under, and describing a would-be jealous lover as fire that ultimately burns that wood… But there’s a weirdly elaborate pun in it: “Would that I” is like a way of saying “I wish that I did” It’s a pun on all the wood that I’ve loved.“
