I've been running alone in slow motion 
 You're walking back home but you're breathless. 
 And I've been looking for someone to love, 
 While you were looking for someone you loved 
 We tossed and we turned our oceans 
 You're walking back home and you're breathless 
 'Cause you were looking for someone to be someone you lost, 
 And I just wanted to hold you, 
 To hold you when you were lost 
    But you hit me like a tidal wave 
 I could hardly run and I couldn't escape 
 I get the feeling that you're far away but I could feel the earthquake 
 'Cause when you shake, I shake, we shake we shake. 
 When you shake, I shake, we shake we shake. 
 Try not to wonder if we're making mistakes 
 Or I'll be broken when the wave breaks.   
 I love how you're afraid of talking too much 
 But I'm just afraid of not saying enough 
 I try to keep quiet when I'm thinking too much 
 Just let you sedate me 
 But isn't this crazy?   
 Look we just went from strangers to friends 
 Look how long it's been 
 Now friends to lovers and we're under covers 
 Can't seem to stop letting this great wall of water 
 Wash over my own better judgement.   
 But you hit me like a tidal wave 
 I could hardly run and I couldn't escape 
 I get the feeling that you're far away but I could feel the earthquake 
 'Cause when you shake, I shake, we shake we shake. 
 When you shake, I shake, we shake we shake. 
 Try not to wonder if we're making mistakes 
 Or I'll be broken when the wave breaks.   
 It's always the same when I catch your crystal tears 
 You storm my gates when no one's guarding. 
 But you hit me like a tidal wave 
 I could hardly run and I couldn't escape 
 I get the feeling that you're far away but I could feel the earthquake 
 'Cause when you shake, I shake, we shake we shake. 
 When you shake, I shake, we shake we shake. 
 Try not to wonder if we're making mistakes 
 Or I'll be broken when the wave breaks.
