[Verse 1]
So you never knew love
Until you crossed the line of grace
And you never felt wanted
Till you'd someone slap your face
So you never felt alive
Until you'd almost wasted away

[Pre-Chorus 1]
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

[Chorus]
Please, please, please
Get up off your knees
Please, please, please, please, oh yeah

[Verse 2]
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 the heaven
You keep you stole

[Pre-Chorus 2]
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

[Chorus]
Please, please, please
Get up off your knees
Please, please, please
Leave me out of this, please

[Bridge 1]
So love is hard
And love is tough
But love is not
What you're thinking of

[Bridge 2]
September, streets capsizing
Spilling over down the drains
Shard of glass, splinters like rain
But you could only feel your own pain
October, talk getting nowhere
November, December; remember
We just started again

[Chorus]
Please, please, please
Get up off your knees, yeah
Please, please, please, please, ah

[Outro]
So love is big
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

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.
