Please - U2

So you never knew love until you crossed the line of grace

And you never felt wanted till you had someone slap your face

So you never felt alive until you almost wasted away

You had to win

You couldn't just pass

The smartest ass

At the top of the class

Your flying colours

Your family tree

And all your lessons in history

Please... please... please get up off your knees...

Please... please... leave me out of this

Please

So you never knew how long you'd stoop to make that call

And you never knew what was on the ground till they made you crawl

So you never knew that the heaven you keep you stole

Your catholic blues

Your convent shoes

Your stick on tattoos

Now they're making the news

Your holy war

Your northern star

Your sermon on the mount

From the boot of your car

Please... please... please get up off your knees

Please... please... leave me out of this please

So love is hard and love is tough

But love is not what you're thinking of

September... streets capsizing...

spilling over down the drain

...shards of glass splinters like rain

But you could only feel your own pain...

october... talking getting nowhere...

November... December... remember...

are we just starting again...?

So love is big bigger than us

But love is not what you're thinking of

It's what lovers deal it's what lovers steal

You know i've found it hard to recieve

Cause you my love I could never believe
