See right through me


On the flight back from a business trip in Brussels, feeling exhausted and drained, I put on the iPod to listen to the songs offered for free download by U2. I closed my eyes, put the earphones on and blocked every thought away. I was missing you but didn't want to think about it.


You've got a face not spoiled by beauty
I have some scars from where I've been
You've got eyes that can see right through me
You're not afraid of anything they've seen

I was told that I would feel
Nothing the first time
I don't know how these cuts heal
But in you I found a right

If there is a light
You can always see
And there is a world
We can always be
If there is a dark
That we shouldn't doubt
And there is a light
Don't let it go out

And this is a song
A song for someone
This is a song
A song for someone

You let me into a conversation
A conversation only we could make
You're breaking into my imagination

Whatever's in there is yours to take

[Lyrics by U2 "Song for Someone" from the album "Songs of Innocence", 2014]
