I’ve been running out of
|
My 70 excuses
|
There comes a point when patience
|
Can’t take all these abuses
|
Now my reserves are empty
|
I’m feeling kind of low
|
Because when do you fight for someone
|
And when do you let ‘em go
|
The other day I thought I saw you on a magazine
|
Your stubborn nose pretending to belong to the machine
|
|
I’ve been waiting for you to come to your senses
|
Holding up your heavy heart, down there in the trenches
|
You don’t have to carry that weight all by yourself
|
Even you the mercenary could use a little help
|
You’ve got your gun, your bulletproof pride
|
You never run, but you sure know how to hide
|
|
My friend said he had seen you
|
At a movie theatre
|
You looked just had you had always
|
Didn’t ask about me either
|
I won’t say life ends without you
|
But you’re the only answer
|
You got me like a thief
|
You got me with my hands up
|
The other day I thought I saw you on a magazine
|
Your stubborn nose pretending to belong to the machine
|
|
I’ve been waiting for you to come to your senses
|
Holding up your heavy heart, down there in the trenches
|
You don’t have to carry that weight all by yourself
|
Even you the mercenary could use a little help
|
You’ve got your gun, your bulletproof pride
|
You never run, but you sure know how to hide
|
|
[Bono duet with himself]
|
|
Your wish is falling before you
|
The stars are frustrating
|
You’re always [into] waiting love
|
|
Yeah, there’s something wrong
|
Yeah, be safe now
|
There’s a faith in my heart
|
Going days won’t stop
|
When I feel that I’m still
|
In the beat of your soul
|
When you talk
|
When you write
|
When you weave and you flow
|
And you leave and you stay
|
Only waiting is left
|
Now I’m kneeling around in the cold
|
|
I’ve been waiting for you to come to your senses
|
Holding up your heavy heart, down there in the trenches
|
You don’t have to carry that weight all by yourself
|
Even you the mercenary could use a little help
|
You’ve got your gun, your bulletproof pride
|
You never run, but you sure know how to hide
|
