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, please, please

And you never knew how low 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 that the heaven you keep you stole

Your Catholic blues, your convent shoes

Your stick-on tattoos, now they're making 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, 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 pain

October, talking getting nowhere

November, December, remember

Are we just starting again?

Please, please, please get up off of your knees

Please, please, please, please

So love is 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 receive

Cause you, my love, I could never believe
