beautiful symmetry

This song has been playing in my head all day long.  I had it on repeat last night, and my brain has not been able to turn it off.  But some songs just do that.  Once their beautiful symmetry touches me, I can't get myself to let them go.  They remain with me.  And I'm never the same again. 

I believe some words are meant to go together.  In a certain precise order.  In a perfectly designed arrangement.  As was perfectly done here:

"So Cruel" (U2)

We crossed the line
Who pushed who over?
It doesn't matter to you
It matters to me
We're cut adrift
We're still floating
I'm only hanging on
To watch you go down,
My love ...

I disappeared in you
You disappeared from me
I gave you everything you ever wanted
It wasn't what you wanted

The men who love you, you hate the most
They pass right through you like a ghost
They look for you, but your spirit is in the air
Baby, you're nowhere

Oh, love
You say in love there are no rules
Oh, love
Sweetheart,
You're so cruel

Desperation is a tender trap
It gets you every time
You put your lips to her lips
To stop the lie

Her skin is pale like God's only dove
Screams like an angel for your love
Then she makes you watch her from above
And you need her like a drug

Oh, love
You say in love there are no rules
Oh, love
Sweetheart
You're so cruel

She wears my love like a see-through dress
Her lips say one thing
Her movements something else
Oh, love, like a screaming flower
Love, dying every hour, love

You don't know if it's fear or desire
Danger, the drug that takes you higher
Head in heaven, fingers in the mire

Her heart is racing, you can't keep up
The night is bleeding like a cut
Between the horses of love and lust
We are trampled underfoot

Oh, love
You say in love there are no rules
Oh, love
Sweetheart,
You're so cruel

Oh, love
To stay with you I'd be a fool
Sweetheart,
You're so cruel
