ENEvery 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
Like 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 was 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
You know
That my heart
Is the same place yours has been
We know
The fear of winning
So we end before we begin
The waves know
We’re on the rocks
Drowning is no sin
You know
That my heart
Is the same place yours has been
We know
The fear of winning
So we end before we begin
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
Like 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 was 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
You know
That my heart
Is the same place yours has been
We know
The fear of winning
So we end before we begin
The waves know
We’re on the rocks
Drowning is no sin
You know
That my heart
Is the same place yours has been
We know
The fear of winning
So we end before we begin
