Ryan Tedder - Every Breaking Wave lyrics

[Verse 1] Every breaking wave on the shore Tells the next one there'll be one more Every gambler knows that to lose It's what you're really there for Summer I was fearlessness Now I speak into an answer phone Like every falling leaf on the breeze Winter wouldn't leave it alone, alone [Chorus] 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? [Verse 2] 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 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 [Chorus] [Bridge] 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 We know that we fear to win And so we end before we begin Before we begin [Chorus]
