Every Time You Go Lyrics

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Every time you go, go, go, go

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

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 end with a touch
And I know that you're clever and I don't ask for much

Ooh...

Maybe we forgot all the things we are
When we are together

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

You said I'm arresting, you said I had heat
I really thought that we'd go further the second time we 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

Ooh...

Maybe we forgot all the thing we are
When we are together

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

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I run a mount to meet you when I knew the 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

Ooh...

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

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

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Maybe we forget, are we awake or not?
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Maybe we forget, are we awake or not?
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Maybe we forget, are we awake or not?
Or maybe we forgot

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

I love this song. Basically, it's about a tumultuous relationship between a girl and a guy. In the chorus, she's describing what she feels whenever he he leaves her. He "wakes her up", in the sense that she's dreaming or feeling quite peaceful with their relationship, and he snaps her out of it by breaking up with her. I love the line "tape me up then break me up"...it means he fixes her heart just to break it again.

I really like this song. Sometimes I listen and look back on my life and interpret it a different way than it was intended, but interpreting things in a personal way is what makes music fun. We all have a story to share, we just need to find the song which tells it.

My Opinion

Love this song. I thought it said : 'and it ends in my name' not 'one name' but I don't know.. Also, on the chorus, I heard it as 'Wake me up, wake me, I'll stop my foreword when I'm at my weakest'. Not sure about 'foreword' but she definitely says 'Wake me up, wake me I'll..' instead of 'Wake me up' twice. I only have the demo though, so obviously I won't know if it's changed for the final version :)

i've made the changes, thank you for pointing them out :) i'm not sure what the bit after ''wake me.. i'll'' so i just left it like that. hopefully somebody else will know haha. :D

In the final version I'm pretty sure she says 'Wake me up, wake me up, stop my fall when I'm at my weakest', which makes sense to me. She also puts the second verse ('you said I'm arresting' etc) at the end of the first verse before the chorus, and adds in a new second verse:

I ran out to meet you When I knew the storm had come And I felt the storm on your face And the damage you had done. I know what you're thinking: 'It'll never be the end, And when the storm is over You won't see me again"....

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

I think this song is about giving so much to a relationship but feeling like your getting nothing back
