If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would
Let it go

Surrender
Dislocate

If I could through myself
Set your spirit free
I’d lead your heart astray
Just to see you break, break away
Into the light, to the rain
Into the light
Out from over the flame

To let it go
So not fade away
To let it go
So not fade away

Wide awake
I’m wide awake
Wide awake
I’m not sleeping
Oh, no
I’m not sleeping
Oh, no no

If they should ask
Well maybe they’d
Tell me what I should say
True colors fly in blue and black
Bruised silken sky and burning flag
Colors crash, collide blood shot eyes

If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would
Let it go…

This separation
Separation
Isolation
In temptation
Isolation
Not revelation
Isolation
Not revelation
Isolation

Let it go
So not fade away
To let it go
So not fade, fade
Fade away
Fade away

Not fade away
No, no
Not fade away

(Woo-hoo sing it)
(Find my way)
(Come on, help me do it)

Love
Not fade away
No no no no no no
No no no no no no no
No no no no

I’m wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
I’m not sleeping

I’m not sleeping

How long, sing this song
How long to sing this song
How long… (to sing this song)
(How long to—)

U2

U2 is an Irish rock band from Dublin, which started in post-punk but soon incorporated elements from various musical genres (funk, electronica, blues). Composed of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards, and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen Jr (drums and percussion), the band is noted for a sound built on melodic instrumentals, and lyrics, filled with spiritual imagery, personal themes and sociopolitical concerns. U2 sold more than 150 million records worldwide, and created some of the most lavish, memorable and profitable concert tours in history. Their success also helped the bandmembers advocate for human rights and philanthropic causes.
