Lyrics

[Intro]
Please stop fighting
Please
Let's talk
Please
[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
And you never felt alive
Until you'd almost wasted away
[Verse 2]
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 now
Please, please, please
Leave it out
[Verse 3]
So you never knew how low you'd stoop to make that call
And you never knew what was on the ground until they made you crawl
So you never knew that the heaven you keep you stole
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 now
Please, please, please
Leave it out
[Bridge]
'Cause love is big and love is tough
But love is not what you're thinking of
[Verse 4]
September, streets capsizing
Spilling over and down the drain
Shards of glass, splinters like rain
But you could only feel your own pain
October, talk getting nowhere
November, December
Remember
Are we just starting again?
[Chorus]
Please, please, please
Get up off your knees now
Please, please
[Bridge]
'Cause love is big, it's bigger than us
But love is not what we're thinking of
[Outro]
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
Written by: Adam Clayton, Bono, Larry Mullen Jr., The Edge
