My favorite lyrics from U2’s Songs of Innocence
U2 are known for their beautiful lyrics and their latest Songs of Innocence is no exception. The whole album is brilliant, but there are some lines that just touch my soul and give me chills. Here are my favorites:
There’s no end to grief
That’s how I know
And why I need to know that there is no end to love
– California (There is No End to Love)If there is a light you can’t always see
And there is a world we can’t always be
If there is a dark that we shouldn’t doubt
And there is a light, don’t let it go out
– Song for SomeoneFree yourself, to be yourself if only you could see yourself
– Iris (Hold Me Close)Do you live here or is this a vacation?
– VolacanoIf I open my eyes,
You disappear
– Raised by WolvesIf the door is open it isn’t theft
You can’t return to where you’ve never left
A HEART THAT IS BROKEN
IS A HEART THAT IS OPEN
– Cedarwood Road
On the Road With U2 
I was young, not dumb
Just wishing to be blinded
By you, brand new
And we were pilgrims on our way
-The Miracle (Of Joey Ramone)-
And every shipwrecked soul knows what it is
to live without intimacy
-Every Breaking Wave-
I have some scars from where I’ve been
You’ve got eyes that can see right through me
-Song For Someone-
You think it’s easier
To give up on the trouble
If the trouble is destroying you
You think it’s easier
But before you throw me a rope
It was the one thing I could hold on to
-The Troubles-

Thanks so much Colleen! And thanks for sharing your favorite lyrics!
You took me by the hand
I thought that I was leading you
– Iris (Hold Me Close)
I really love this.
Hey Deena, my list was cut off for some reason. I typed it up again! : )
That’s how I know
And why I need to know that there is no end to love
All I know and all I need to know is there is no end to love
– California (There Is No End To Love)
And I’m a long long way from your Hill of Calvary
And I’m a long way from where I was and where I need to be
If there is a light you can’t always see
And there is a world we can’t always be
If there is a kiss I stole from your mouth
And there is a light, don’t let it go out
– Song for Someone
Dreams,
It’s a dirty business, dreaming
Where there is silence and not screaming
Where there’s no daylight, there’s no healing…
…Hope is where the door is
When the church is where the war is
Where no one can feel no one else’s pain
– Sleep Like A Baby Tonight
