Tickets. Dates. What’s the story?Explore the tour About This Track
'Seconds' by U2 is a track from the album 'War', released in 1981. The lyrics take a restless look at parting, with the speaker counting down the time it takes to say goodbye. Images of speed and danger sharpen the farewell, as lightning flashes across the sky and the world shifts from east to west. A furtive, night-time mood follows, with a thief-in-the-night simile and the line about seeing the world by candlelight. One short phrase sums up the urgency: “Takes a second to say goodbye”.
"Seconds" is a track by U2, from the album War, released 28th February 1981. Full lyrics are available below.
