Every Breaking Wave Every breaking wave on the shore Tells the next one 'there'll be one more' Every gambler knows when to lose It's what you're really there for Someone else fearless
Now I'm speaking to an answerphone Like every fallen leaf on the breeze Winter wouldn't leave it alone, alone
[Chorus:] If you go If you go your way and I go mine Are we so Are we so helpless against the tide? Baby, every doubt of history Knows that we're in love with defeat Are we ready to be swept off our feet And start 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 It's hard to listen while you preach Like every broken wave on the shore This is as far as I could reach
[Chorus]
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
