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 an answer phone Like every silent leave 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 And 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 was as far as I can 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 are the rocks And drowning is no sin You know where my heart is The same place that yours has been And we know the 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
