Every Breaking Wave Lyrics

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 I was fearlessness

Now I'm speaking to an answerphone

Like every flowering leaf on the breeze

Winter wouldn't leave it alone

Hey now

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

And 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 we preach

Like every broken wave on the shore

This was as far as I could reach

Hey now

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

Enough to be somebody who needs someone

The waves know we're on the rocks

And drowning is no sin

You know my heart is the same place yours has been

We know the fear of winning, so we end before we begin

Oh oh oh oh...

Oh oh oh oh...

The waves know we're on the rocks

And drowning is no sin

You know my heart is the same place yours has been

We know the fear of winning, so we end before we begin
