Acoustic Sessions - U2
Every breaking wave on the shore
Tells the next one
There'll be one more
And every gambler knows
That to lose
Is what you're really there for
Summer I was fearless
Now I speak into
The answer phone
Like every falling leaf
On the breeze
Winter wouldn't leave it alone
If you go
If you go your way
And I go mine
Are we so
Are we so helpless
Against the tide
Baby every dog on the street
Knows that we're in love
With defeat
Are we ready to be swept
Off our feet
And stop chasing
Every breaking wave
Every sailor knows that the sea
Is a friend made enemy
And every shipwrecked soul
Knows what it is
To live without intimacy
I thought I heard
The captain's voice
But it's hard to listen
While you preach
Like every broken
Wave on the shore
This is as far as I could reach
If you go
If you go your way and I go mine
Are we so
Are we so helpless
Against the tide
Baby every dog on the street
Knows that we're in love
With defeat
Are we ready to be swept off our feet
And stop chasing
Every breaking wave
The sea knows
Where are the rocks
And drowning is no sin
You know where my heart is
The same place
That yours has been
We know that we fear to win
And so we end before we begin
Before we begin
If you go
If you go your way
And I go mine
Are we so
Are we so helpless
Against the tide
Baby every dog on the street
Knows that we're in love
With defeat
Are we ready to be swept off our feet
And stop chasing
Every breaking wave
California
Then we sail into the shallow sea
The wind that drags
Your heart down
Well that's what took me
Where I need to be
Which is here Alazzurra
Watching you cry like a baby
California
At the dawn you thought
Would never come
But it did
Like it always does
Whoa oh you know
And all I need to know is
There is no yeah there is no end
To love
I didn't call you
A risk can scare a thought away
Everyone's a star in our town
It's just your light gets dimmer
If you have to stay
Can you imagine in a mirror
Watching yourself cry like a baby
California
The blood orange season
Brings you to your knees
I've seen for myself
There's no end to grief
That's how I know
Whoa that's how I know
And why I need to know
If there is no if there is no end
To love
Whoa oh how I know
And all I need to know is
There is no yeah there is no end
To love
Whoa oh you know
And all I need to know is
There is no yeah there is no end
To love
Whoa we come and go
With stolen days you don't get back
Stolen days are just enough
Face down on a broken street
There's a man in the corner
In a pool of misery
I'm in white van as a red sea
Covers the ground
Metal crash I can't tell what it is
But I take a look
And now I'm sorry I did
5:30 on a Friday night 33
Good people cut down
I don't believe anymore
I don't believe anymore
Face down on a pillow of shame
There are some girls with a needle
Trying to spell my
Name
My body's not a canvas
My body's now a toilet wall
I don't believe anymore
I don't believe anymore
Raised by wolves
Stronger than fear
Raised by wolves
We were raised by wolves
Raised by wolves
Stronger than fear
If I open my eyes
You disappear
Boy sees his father crushed
Under the weight
Of a cross in a passion
Where the passion is hate
Blue mink Ford
I'm gonna detonate in your den
Blood in the house
Blood in the street
The worst things in the world
Are justified by belief
Registration 1385-WZ
I don't believe anymore
I don't believe anymore
Raised by wolves
Stronger than fear
Raised by wolves
We were raised by wolves
Raised by wolves
Stronger than fear
If I open my eyes
You disappear
I was running down the road
The fear was all I knew
I was looking for a soul
That's real
Then I ran into you
And that cherry blossom tree
Was a gateway to the sun
And friendship once it's won
It's won it's one
Northside just across the river
To the southside
That's a long way here
All the green and all the gold
The hurt you hide
The joy you hold
The foolish pride
That gets you out the door
Up on cedarwood
Cedarwood road
Sleepwalking down the road
Not waking from these dreams
'Cause it's never dead
It's still my head
It was a warzone in my teens
I'm still standing on that street
Still need an enemy
The worst ones I can't see
You can you can
Northside just across the river
To the southside
That's a long way here
All the green and all the gold
The hurt you hide
And the joy you hold
The foolish pride
That sends you back for more
Up on cedarwood
Cedarwood road
If the door is open it isn't theft
You can't return to where
You've never left
Blossoms falling from a tree
They cover you and cover me
Symbols clashing bibles smashing
Paint the world you need to see
Sometimes fear is the only place
That we can call our home
Cedarwood road
A heart that is broken
Is a heart that is open
And a heart that is broken
Is a heart that is open
You've got a face
Not spoiled by beauty
I have some scars from
Where I've been
You've got eyes
That can see right through me
You're not afraid of anything
They've seen
I was told that I would feel
Nothing the first time
I don't know how these cuts heal
But in you I've found a right
If there is a light
You can always see
And there is a world
We can always be
If there is a dark
That we shouldn't doubt
And there is a light
Don't let it go out
And this is a song
A song for someone
This is a song
A song for someone
You let me into a conversation
A conversation only we could make
You're breaking into my imagination
Whatever's in there is yours to take
I was told that I would feel
Nothing the first time
You were so long to heal
But this could be the night
If there is a light
You can always see
And there is a world
We can always be
If there is a dark
Within and without
And there is a light
Don't let it go out
And this is a song
A song for someone
A song
A song for someone
And I'm a long way
From your hill or cavalry
And I'm a long way
From where I was
Where I need to be
If there is a light
You can always see
And there is a world
We can always be
If there is a kiss
I stole from your mouth
And there is a light
Don't let it go out
I was chasing down the days of fear
Chasing down a dream
Before it disappeared
I was aching to be somewhere new
Your voice was all I heard
I was shaking from a storm in me
Haunted by the spectors
That we had to see
Yeah I wanted to be the melody
Above the noise above the herd
I was young
Not dumb
Just wishing to be blinded
By you
Brand new
And we were pilgrims on our way
I woke up at the moment
When the miracle occurred
Heard a song that made some
Sense out of the world
Everything I ever lost now
Has been returned
The most beautiful sound
I ever heard
We've got language
So we can communicate
Religion so I can love and hate
Music so I can exaggerate my pain
And give it a name
I was young
Not dumb
Just wishing to be blinded
By you
Brand new
And we were pilgrims on our way
I woke up at the moment
When the miracle occurred
Heard a song that made some sense
Out of the world
Everything I ever lost
Now has been returned
The most beautiful sound
I ever heard
We can hear you
Hear you
We can hear you ooh
I woke up at the moment
When the miracle occurred
I get so many things
I don't deserve
All the stolen voices
May one day be returned
The most beautiful sound I ever heard
Your voices will be heard
