Are You Gonna Wait Forever?
U2 · Other Songs - U2
All the obstacles in my way now
Are disappearing every day now
I'm getting closer, we're getting closer to home
It won't be long until the summer comes
Are you gonna wait forever?
Are you gonna wait forever?
Getting out from under my bed now
I'm gonna say the things I should have said now
Getting closer, getting closer to what's true
Gonna find myself in you
Are you gonna wait forever?
Are you gonna wait forever?
Are you gonna wait forever?
Are you gonna wait forever?
There's no one there behind their eyes
They're in the business, beautiful lies
We'll keep the promise
'Cause we don't know how to break it
The furniture you can rearrange
Don't trade your dreams for some small change
Guard the flame or better leave it naked
Are you gonna wait forever?
Are you gonna wait forever?
Are you gonna wait forever? How?
Are you gonna wait forever?
How, how long or is it now, now, now?
Or is it now?
Are disappearing every day now
I'm getting closer, we're getting closer to home
It won't be long until the summer comes
Are you gonna wait forever?
Are you gonna wait forever?
Getting out from under my bed now
I'm gonna say the things I should have said now
Getting closer, getting closer to what's true
Gonna find myself in you
Are you gonna wait forever?
Are you gonna wait forever?
Are you gonna wait forever?
Are you gonna wait forever?
There's no one there behind their eyes
They're in the business, beautiful lies
We'll keep the promise
'Cause we don't know how to break it
The furniture you can rearrange
Don't trade your dreams for some small change
Guard the flame or better leave it naked
Are you gonna wait forever?
Are you gonna wait forever?
Are you gonna wait forever? How?
Are you gonna wait forever?
How, how long or is it now, now, now?
Or is it now?
