Album: Nocturnes (2013)

Crescendo

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
[x2]

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
[x2]

Can we stop and talk it over?
Instead of talking over ourselves
Can we stop and talk it over, over, over, over?
