Running to Stand Still
I want to marry someone who loves this song.
Running to Stand Still
by U2
and so she woke up
woke up from where she was lying still
said i gotta do something
about where we're going
step on a steam train
step out of the driving rain maybe
run from the darkness in the night
singing ah la la la de day
ah la la la de day
ah la la de day
sweet the sin
bitter the taste in my mouth
i see seven towers
but i only see one way out
you've got to cry without weeping
talk without speaking
scream without raising your voice
you know i took the poison
from the poison stream
then i floated out of here
singing ah la la la de day
ah la la la de day
ah la la de day
she runs through the streets
with her eyes painted red
under black belly of cloud in the rain
in through a doorway she brings me
white gold and pearls stolen from the sea
she is raging
she is raging
and the storm blows up in her eyes
she will
suffer the needle chill
she's running to stand
still

I feel exactly the same way. I've always loved "you've got to talk without speaking, cry without weeping, scream without raising your voice..."
