Songtexte: U2. Wide Awake In America. Bad (live).

If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, you know 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, through the rain
To the half-light, 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

So let it go and so to fade away
To let it go and so fade away

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

If we should ask, well, maybe they'd
Tell me what I should say
True colors fly in blue and black
Bruised silken sky and burning flak
Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes

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

This desperation, separation
Condemnation, revelation in temptation

Isolation, desolation
Isolation

Let it go and so fade away
To let it go and so fade, fade, fade away

Not fade away, fade, fade
Not fade away
No, no, no, not fade away

Wide awake, I'm wide awake, yeah
Wide awake, I'm wide awake
Wide awake, oh

I'm not sleeping, oh no, no, no
I'm not sleeping, oh no

Come on down
Come on down
Come on down
[Incomprehensible]

Come on down
