Bono is comparing relationships to an electrical storm. "Sure hope the weather will break soon" means hopefully the problems in the relationship will resolve. (thanks, Bill - Johnstown, PA)
Bono: "It's about a couple in a room feeling a storm brewing in the sky outside and equating that to the pressure they feel in their relationship. I think it captures a sense of unease I feel around the world, especially in America, an air of nervous anticipation. It's not an overtly political song, but I don't think we could have written it before what happened in New York." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)
