Every Breaking Wave 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 fallen 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
But 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 that yours has been
And 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

What is the Meaning of Every Breaking Wave?

Exploring the tumultuous tides of love and loss, this poignant track delves into the struggle between holding on and letting go. 🌊 Each verse reflects on the inevitability of change and the human tendency to resist it, likening our emotions to waves that crash relentlessly but also shape us in the process. The chorus questions whether we are too powerless against life's currents or if we can choose a different path by ceasing to chase what might ultimately pull us under. It's a beautiful reminder that sometimes, embracing defeat may lead to newfound strength and perspective. Are we ready to be swept off our feet, or will we keep fighting the inevitable? 💔
