It's always something small in the beginning
Just a careless thought said without thinking
That makes the chain react
and there's no taking back, Oh
Soon we're drawing swords and making circles
Tiptoeing round the thing that really hurts most
Too stubbonr to stand down
Too proud to turn around, 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
Oh, oh
You look me in the eye, I keep on staring
Straight ahead like I'm not even caring
But we both know this game
It's all a masquerade
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
CHORUS
Can we stop and talk it over
Instead of talking over ourselves
Can we stop and talk it over
Over, over, over
We kee getting louder,
We kee getting louder,
We kee getting louder,
And I can't stand the noise
Oh, oh
Just a careless thought said without thinking
That makes the chain react
and there's no taking back, Oh
Soon we're drawing swords and making circles
Tiptoeing round the thing that really hurts most
Too stubbonr to stand down
Too proud to turn around, 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
Oh, oh
You look me in the eye, I keep on staring
Straight ahead like I'm not even caring
But we both know this game
It's all a masquerade
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
CHORUS
Can we stop and talk it over
Instead of talking over ourselves
Can we stop and talk it over
Over, over, over
We kee getting louder,
We kee getting louder,
We kee getting louder,
And I can't stand the noise
Oh, oh
