See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you
練團室裡我埋著頭撥弦，電吉他沒有經過破音效果器直接連到擴音箱，聲音顯得有些太過平滑，我們奏著U2的With Or Without You。
那時候怎麼會想到後來自己其實比較喜歡The Joshua Tree專輯裡頭的Where The Streets Have No Name和In God's Country。對大部分的高中生來說，音樂是歌名、旋律和排行榜的組合。
With or without you
With or without you
Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you
我翻開歌詞，耳朵貼近Sharp音響的喇叭，CD播放著With Or Without You而我一邊讀著簡短的歌詞，但二十年後才來體會歌的意境會不會太晚了些？還是唯有當你真正需要它渴望它時你才能真切體會它，才有一絲的機會真實地擁抱它和進入它。
很多音樂都是這麼回事。很多人事物也是。
My hands are tied
My body bruised, she's got me with
Nothing left to win
And nothing else to lose
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
