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
