Every breaking wave
on the shore till 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 answerphone
Every falling leaf on the breeze
winter wouldn't leave her 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 when you preach
Like every broken wave on the shore
This is 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 my heart is the same place
yours has been
We know the fear
with the end
before it begins
aah,aah,aah,aah
aah,aah,aah,oooh,oooh
aah,aah,aah,aah
aah,aah,aah,oooh,oooh
The waves know we're on the rocks
Drowning is no sin
We'll know
my heart is the same place
yours has been
We know the fear
with the end
before it begins
on the shore till 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 answerphone
Every falling leaf on the breeze
winter wouldn't leave her 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 when you preach
Like every broken wave on the shore
This is 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 my heart is the same place
yours has been
We know the fear
with the end
before it begins
aah,aah,aah,aah
aah,aah,aah,oooh,oooh
aah,aah,aah,aah
aah,aah,aah,oooh,oooh
The waves know we're on the rocks
Drowning is no sin
We'll know
my heart is the same place
yours has been
We know the fear
with the end
before it begins
