We could be a little something
I’ll be everything you wanted
I could bring you real comfort
Give you a break from loving
I’m trying more than just a little
I wanna meet you in the middle
Reading you is like a riddle
I really wanna figure you out

Don’t you worry what you’re gonna lose
In the heat of the moment
We’re rushing into something new
But we’re keeping it focused

Don’t call me lover
Stop thinking ’bout it, thinking ’bout it
I’m not the others
We could keep it simple as
La di da di da
We could keep it simple as
Don’t call me lover
Stop thinking ’bout it, thinking ’bout it

Picture a place where it all doesn’t hurt
Where everything’s safe and it doesn’t get worse
Oh my
We see through bloodshot eyes

Picture a place, somewhere else far away
Where you know what they mean and they mean what they say
To us
And would that be enough?

Are we runnin’ out of time?
Are we hidin’ from the light?
Are we just too scared to fight
For what we want tonight?

I’ve heard many versions of this classic song — including the pathetic (imho) unplugged version — this is arguably the best version ever!

When your legs don’t work like they used to before
And I can’t sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks
And darling I will be loving you ’til we’re 70
And baby my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I’m thinking ’bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Oh me I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am…

Every U2 post is a love note to my sister Lisa who loved U2 long before I did and took me to see them again for my 60th birthday. I curate them here because she doesn’t have the time to find good U2 content like I do…

I’m being followed by a Moonshadow…

Do you have to let it linger?

I got the call today, I didn’t wanna hear

But I knew that it would come

An old true friend of ours was talkin’ on the phone

She said you found someone

And I thought of all the bad luck

And the struggles we went through

And how I lost me

And you lost you

What are these voices outside love’s open door

Make us throw off our contentment

And beg for something more?

But I’m learning to live without you now

But I miss you sometimes

The more I know, the less I understand

All the things I thought I knew

I’m learning again

Sweet cover!
