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

Somewhere else, fearlessness

Now I’m speaking to an answer phone

Every silent leaf

On the breeze

Winter wouldn’t leave it alone

Ay hey now

Ay hey now

I don’t know if I’m that strong

I don’t know if I’m that strong

Don’t know if I’m that strong

To be somebody

To need someone

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 master’s voice

It’s hard to listen while you preach

Like every broken wave

On the shore

This world’s as far as I can reach

Ay hey now

Ay hey now

I don’t know if I’m that strong

I don’t know if I’m that strong

Don’t know if I’m that strong

Got to be somebody

To need someone

The waves know

We’re on the rocks

Drowning is no sin

And you know

My heart is

The same place yours has been

We know

The fear of winning

Should we end before we begin

The waves know

We’re on the rocks

Drowning is no sin

You know

My heart is

The same place yours has been

We know

The fear of winning

Should we end before we begin
