    Lyrics:

    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 falling leaf 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 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 where are the rocks
    And drowning is no sin
    You know where my heart is
    The same place 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

  2. Wow, a world away from the live version.
  3. Fucking beautiful song.
  4. Gorgeous
  5. Beautiful song!!
  6. Beautiful and still very different from what we had heard live!
  7. Nice version!
  8. A little plain. It had more promise back on the 360 tour.
  9. Probably like the tour version better, but I'm still thrilled that they released a version of this song finally. Oh my goodness.
  10. I love that I'm singing along to the lyrics...
  11. OMG
    It's beautiful!!
    I liked the old chorus better, but this is great nonetheless!!
  12. As you all know, I hated the 360 version. It was abysmal - had absolutely no promise whatsoever. Now it has evolved into something considerably more special. Admittedly is a little plain but it sounds better and less cringeworthy. I like it.
