Every Breaking Wave Lyrics

Every Breaking Wave Lyrics

(Verse)
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 fears, 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 then I'll go mine
Are we so, are we so helpless against the time?
Baby every doubt of history knows that we're in love
With defeat...
Are we ready to be swept off our feet?
And start chasin' every breaking wave?

(Verse 2)
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...

(Chorus)
If you go, if you go your way then I'll go mine
Are we so, are we so helpless against the time?
Baby every doubt of history knows that we're in love
With defeat...
Are we ready to be swept off our feet?
And start chasin' every breaking wave?

(Bridge)
The sea knows where all the rocks are drownin' is an ocean
You know where my heart is the same place that yours has been
We know that we fear the wind and so is all have before we begin
Before we begin...

(Chorus)
If you go, if you go your way then I'll go mine
Are we so, are we so helpless against the time?
Baby every doubt of history knows that we're in love
With defeat...
Are we ready to be swept off our feet?
And start chasin' every breaking wave?
