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?
