\u2013 tight groove, playful tone]<br \/>\nStarted with a whisper, just a little crack<br \/>\nSomething in the moment that he couldn\u2019t take back<br \/>\nWords came flying faster than he could contain<br \/>\nLike a storm rolling in with a sudden rain<\/p>\n<p>Tried to play it cool, tried to keep it tight<br \/>\nBut the fuse was burning way too bright<br \/>\nOne small spark, one sideways glance<br \/>\nTurned a quiet night into a circumstance<\/p>\n<p>[Pre-Chorus \u2013 building tension]<br \/>\nYou could see it in his eyes<br \/>\nSomething slipping out of line<br \/>\nEvery second
