| It’s always something small in the beginning
|
| Just the careless words said without thinking
|
| That makes the chain react and there’s no taking back
|
| Oh oh, oh oh
|
| Soon we’re drawing swords and making circles
|
| Tip-toeing 'round the thing that really hurts most
|
| Too stubborn to stand down, too proud to turn around
|
| Oh oh
|
| Caught in a crescendo, crescendo, crescendo
|
| And none of us can let go, let go, let go
|
| It’s out of our control, control, control
|
| And I can’t stand the noise
|
| You look me in the eye, I keep on staring
|
| Straight ahead like I’m not even caring
|
| But we both this game it’s all a masquerade
|
| Oh oh, oh oh
|
| And I know later on, we’ll both regret it
|
| But while the moment’s here, we can’t forget it
|
| Before we know we’re stuck, turn our emotions up
|
| Oh oh, oh oh
|
| Caught in a crescendo, crescendo, crescendo
|
| And none of us can let go, let go, let go
|
| It’s out of our control, control, control
|
| And I can’t stand the noise
|
| Can we stop and talk it over?
|
| Instead of talking over ourselves
|
| Can we stop and talk it over, over, over, over?
|
| We keep getting louder
|
| We keep getting louder
|
| We keep getting louder
|
| And I can’t stand the noise
|
| Oh oh
|
| Caught in a crescendo, crescendo, crescendo
|
| And none of us can let go, let go, let go
|
| It’s out of our control, control, control
|
| And I can’t stand the noise
|
| Can we stop and talk it over?
|
| Instead of talking over ourselves
|
| Can we stop and talk it over, over, over, over? |
