Every second two lines are a copy-paste from a song that I sadly cannot remember. I would point in direction of Robbie Williams but if it was that easy I would not be the first one to notice it!I have to say that the part that starts at 2:55, the "every wave that broke me, every song that wrote me, etc." is one of the single greatest moments on the entire album. Holy crap.
Here's 2 really rough edits I whipped up:

alt1 is how I first imagined it ending, with 2 loops of this riff. Unable to actually loop it that long because Bono sings in it.
alt3 is a second idea I had, bringing the intro licks and the ohs back into the mix.
Might refine it some
And the every wave portion/ending - wow. Just fantastic. Its one of the songs on this album I can't listen to without getting teary, and that's a good thing. That U2's music can still move me like this is blowing me away. Wasn't sure they still had it in them. I honestly am shocked at how much I love this album - such a good thing!!
Agree 100%You know a song is amazing when you wish it would keep going. This is one of the most effortless-sounding songs they've done in a while. That warm guitar and Bono's voice...just wow
Get me home to you, see? Is Bono of old
Get me home to you, see? Is Bono of old
You can’t believe how relieved i was that he didn’t sing “to bring me back to you, boo”

In all seriousness. This is the best song on the album for me. Can’t stop loving it.
