There's a place I go,
And it is far away.
There's a radio,
And I will crawl.

I'm pretty sure it's "there's a radio and i will go"

Depending on the version. I'm sure I've heard (live of course) Bono singing "There's a radio and I can crawl"

When the night takes a deep breath
And the daylight has no air
If I crawl, if I come crawling home
WiIl you be there

Is it there about hurt, desperation, humiliating ? I think it has to do mostly with love. A religious love or the love for the one who's next to you ? I don't have to say the name of the song .

It's about trying to to get home when you're too pissed to walk after a night with the booze.
