Storm
My.Own.Wire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Picking up the shards of another stormy day gone by
Feeling kinda sad but I know it's not a cause to die
Doctor, Doctor can you help me?
I got a constant aching in my body
And I think it's getting worse
I can see the dark clouds rising up
I can feel the cold spreading out again
Who will help me find my way back home and fight the storm?
Every time I try is like a kick in the guts and the face
I know I must connect but I think I don't belong in this place
It's so hard to see what's true
When nobody believes in you
I can see the dark clouds rising up




I can feel the cold spreading out again
Who will help me find my way back home and fight the storm?

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

On rainy days we go swimming out
On rainy days swimming in the sound
On rainy days we go swimming out

You're in my mind all of the time
I know that's not enough
If the sky can crack there must be some way back
For love and only love

Car alarm won't let you back to sleep
You're kept awake dreaming someone else's dream
Coffee is cold, but it'll get you through
Compromise, that's nothing new to you

Let's see colors that have never been seen
Let's go to places no one else has been

You're in my mind all of the time
I know that's not enough
But if the sky can crack there must be some way back
To love and only love

Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Baby, don't cry

It's hot as hell, honey, in this room
Sure hope the weather will break soon
The air is heavy, heavy as a truck
We need the rain to wash away our bad luck

Well, if the sky can crack, there must be some way back
For love and only love

Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Electrical storm

Baby don't cry
Baby don't cry
Baby don't cry
Baby don't cry

Easily the most underrated U2 song, and one of their best videos too.

This song kept me alive when it came out. Everything was crashing down: markets, buildings, my personal life. “If the sky can crack there must be some way back” was like a prayer I said over and over until it was over.
