Every Breaking Wave

Every breaking wave on the shore

Tells the next one

"there'll be one more"

Every gambler knows that to lose

Is what you're really there for

Summer I was fearless

Now I speak into an answerphone

Like every fallen leaf on the breeze

Winter wouldn't leave it alone alone

If you go

If you go your way

And I go mine

Are we so

Are we so helpless against the tide

Baby every dog on the street

Knows that we're in love with defeat

Are we ready to be swept off our feet

And stop chasing every breaking wave

Every sailor knows that the sea

Is a friend made enemy

Every shipwrecked soul knows

What it is

To live without intimacy

I thought I heard the captain's voice

But it's hard to listen

While you preach

Like every broken wave on the shore

This is as far as I could reach

If you go

If you go your way

And I go mine

Are we so

Are we so helpless against the tide

Baby every dog on the street

Knows that we're in love with defeat

Are we ready to be swept off our feet

And stop chasing every breaking wave

The sea knows where all the rocks

Are drowning is an ocean

You know where my heart is

The same place that yours has been

We know that we fear the wind

And it's all we have before we begin

Before we begin

If you go

If you go your way

And I go mine

Are we so

Are we so helpless against the tide

Baby every dog on the street

Knows that we're in love with defeat

Are we ready to be swept off our feet

And stop chasing every breaking wave
