☆ 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 answer phone
Like every fallen leaf on the breeze
Winter wouldn’t leave it 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 were 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 captains 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 were 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
so 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 were in love with defeat
Are we ready to be swept off our feet
And stop chasing every breaking wave?
