Every breaking wave
on the shore
tells the next one
"There'll be one more"
And every gambler knows
that to lose
is what you're
really there for
summer I was fearless
Now I speak
into the answer phone
like every fallen leaf
on a 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
It's a friend made enemy
and every
shipwrecked soul
knows what it is
To live without intimacy
I thought I heard
the captor's voice
but it's hard to listen
while you preach
Like every broken wave
on this 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
we're on the rocks
and drowning
is no sin
You know
where my heart is
the same place
that yours has been
We know that
we fear to win
and so we end
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?
