Where The Wave Breaks

I don't know your name yet
But I've seen you around
And I don't know the reason
But you've been on my mind

You're standing by the window
You're talking on the phone
I'm sitting at the bar, trying to read the evening paper
While the coffee's getting cold

Then you're by my side
You're saying: Hi

And this is where the wave breaks
This is where my firm ground shakes
This is where I fall in love

Now I thought it was over
No longing anymore
For staying up all night trying to get to know somebody
And sleeping on the floor

Then you're saying:
Hi, let's go outside

This is where the wave breaks
This is where my firm ground shakes
This is where I fall in love

I don't know anything about you
But I'm already making plans
And I've got nothing for tomorrow
So I'll stay with you if I can

You could be working at the hospital
Under the pale flourescent light
You could take time out from the nightchift
To call and see if I'm alright

This is where the wave breaks
This is where my firm ground shakes
This is where I fall in love

This is where the pain starts
Deep inside my pounding heart
This is where I fall in love
