"Another Time, Another Place" song lyrics by U2

"Another Time, Another Place" is a reflective track from U2's debut album Boy, encapsulating the themes of longing, nostalgia, and the desire for connection. Through Bono's poignant lyrics, the song explores the feeling of being caught between moments, suggesting a yearning for a different reality or circumstance. The imagery evokes a sense of wistfulness, as if the narrator is contemplating the possibilities that lie just beyond their reach. This sentiment resonates with the universal human experience of wishing for a different path in life, one where the constraints of time and circumstance are lifted, allowing for new opportunities and connections. The song’s atmospheric instrumentation complements its introspective tone, creating a soundscape that feels both haunting and hopeful.

From Bono's perspective, "Another Time, Another Place" also reflects the complexities of youth and the emotional turbulence that comes with navigating relationships and identity. 

The lyrics suggest a longing for simpler times, perhaps evoking memories of childhood or the innocence that can be lost as one grows up. This sense of nostalgia is juxtaposed with the realization that time moves forward, leaving behind moments that can never be reclaimed. 

Ultimately, "Another Time, Another Place" serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of human connections and the enduring wish for understanding and belonging in an ever-evolving world.

"Another Time, Another Place" song lyrics by U2

Bright morning lights
Wipe the sleep from another day's eyes
Turn away from the wall and there's nothing at all
Be naked and afraid
In the open space of my bed
I'll be with you now
I'll be with you now
We lie on a cloud
We lie

Just as I am
I awoke with a tear on my tongue
I awoke with a feeling of never before
In my sleep, I discover the one
But she ran with the morning sun
I'll be with you now
I'll be with you now
We lie on a cloud
We lie

Another time, another place
We lie
Another time, another place

Another child has lost the race
We lie
Another time, another place
We lie
Your time, your price

We lie
Another time, another place
We lie
Another child has lost

We lie
Another time, another place
We lie
Your time, your place
