Songwriter: U2

Producer: Daniel Lanois Brian Eno Tony Visconti U2

If you twist and turn away
It you tear yourself in two again
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would let it go
Surrender, dislocate

If I could throw this lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay, see you break, break away
Into the night, and through the rain
To the half light and through the flame

If I could, through myself, set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away, see you break, break away
Into the light, through the day

Hoo, hoo!
Hoo, hoo!
Hoo, hoo!
Hoo, hoo!
Hoo, hoo!
Hoo, hoo!

So let it go and so fade away
To let it go, uh huh, and so fade away (away)
Wide awake, I’m wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh no, no, no
I'm not sleeping, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

If they should ask, well maybe they’d
Tell you what I would say
True colours fly in blue and black
Blue silken sky and burning flag
Colours crash, collide in bloodshot eyes

If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would let it go

This desperation, dislocation
Separation, condemnation
Revelation, in temptation
Isolation, desolation, isolation
Let it go, uh huh, and so fade away
To let it go and so fade, fade, fade away
Ooh

Ooh
Not fade away, hey, hey
Not fade away, no
No, no, not fade away, ah

Wide awake, I'm wide awake
Wide awake, I'm wide awake
Wide awake, oh, I'm not sleeping
Oh no, no, no, no
I'm not sleeping, no, no

Come on down, come on down
Come on down, sing it
Come on down

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.
