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
