Lyrics

[Verse 1]
City of lovers, City of Light
Wanna sing this next for, for lovers
Who've lost lovers
This is a song I never quite figure out
What happened in the end
I hope they made it, this is Every Breaking Wave
Song from our first
[Verse 2]
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 fearlessness
Now I speak into an answer phone
Like every fallen leaf on the breeze
Winter wouldn't leave it alone
[Verse 3]
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 4]
Every sailor knows that the sea
Is a friend made enemy
And every shipwrecked soul knows what it's like
To live without intimacy
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
[Verse 5]
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 6]
The sea knows where are the rocks
Drowning is no sin
You know where my heart is
Same place yours has been
We know that we fear to win
So we end before we begin
Before we begin
[Verse 7]
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 8]
Every breaking wave
Every breaking wave
[Verse 9]
Thank you guys
