Píseň: Every Breaking Wave

Interpret:
U2
Album:
Songs of Innocence
Every breaking wave on the shore
 Tells the next one there’ll be one more
 And every gambler knows that´s 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 that 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
