MERGED: Most Powerful Opening Lines To A U2 Song... + the ones that made me listen

[filledeperle]

What you don't have,
you don't need it now


So true.

 

[U2girl91289]

If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again

And so she woke up
Woke up from where she was
Lying still
Siad I gotta do something
About where we're going

You know he had the cure
You know he went astray
He used to stay awake to drive the dreams he had away

 

[cujo]

I want to run
I want to hide...

you know the rest

 

[IWasBored]

I want to run
I want to hide...

you know the rest

 

[RavenStar]

"October...and the trees are stripped bare..."

Need I say more?

 

[celia]

I wanna run. I want to hide. I wanna tear down the walls that hold me inside...

You can reach
But you can't grab it
You can hold it, control it
You can't bag it

The sea it swells like a sore head
And the night, it is aching
Two lovers lie with no sheets on their bed
And the day it is breaking

It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
It's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight
They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by a moon
You know I don't see you when she walks in the room

And love
Is not the easy thing
The only baggage
That you can bring
Not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can't leave behind


Oh I'll think I'll stop or I'll just end up posting every song! lol
