Crescendo

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] Can we stop and talk it over? Instead of talking over ourselves Can we stop and talk it over, over, over, over? [Bridge] We keep getting louder We keep getting louder We keep getting louder And I can't stand the noise Oh oh [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] Can we stop and talk it over? Instead of talking over ourselves Can we stop and talk it over, over, over, over?
