[Intro]
Every time you go
Every time you go

[Verse 1]
It starts with a picture
And it sits in your frame
And we part with a letter
And it ends in my name
And it starts with forever
And it ends with a touch
And I know that you're clever
And I don't ask for much (Oh)

[Refrain]
Maybe we forgot all the things we are
When we are together

[Verse 2]
You said I'm arresting
You said I had heat
I really thought that we'd go further
The second time we'd meet
'Cause I'm tired of trying to keep you
All I want to do is sleep
And, perhaps, when I'm sleeping
You'll get back on your feet (Oh)

[Refrain]
Maybe we forgot all the things we are
When we are together

[Chorus]
Wake me up, wake me up
Stop my fall (Every time you go)
Tape me up, then break me up
Ever so gently when I'm at my weakest
It's not so hard every time you go

[Verse 3]
I run out to meet you
When I knew a storm had come
And I felt the rain on your face
And the damage you had done
I know what you're thinking
It will never be the end
And when the storm is over
You won't see me again (Oh)

[Refrain]
Didn't know the price I paid for all the times I stayed
When we were together

[Chorus]
Wake me up, wake me up
Stop my fall (Every time you go)
Tape me up, then break me up
Ever so gently when I'm at my weakest
It's not so hard

[Bridge]
Maybe we forgot, are we awake or not?
Maybe we forgot, are we awake or not?
Maybe we forgot, are we awake or not?
Oh, maybe we forgot

[Chorus]
Wake me up, wake me up
Stop my fall (Every time you go)
Tape me up, then break me up
Ever so gently when I'm at my weakest
Wake me up, wake me up
Stop my fall (Every time you go)
Tape me up, then break me up
Ever so gently when I'm at my weakest
It's not so hard every time you go
