Cymbal Rush Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Try to save it but it doesn't come off the rug
Try to build a wall that is high enough

It's all boiling over, all boiling over
Mmm, mmm
Try to save your house, try to save your songs
Try to run but it follows you up the hill

It's all boiling over, all boiling over
Your loved ones, your loved ones

[Verse 2]
A normal conversation
A normal conversation
You should have took me out when you had the chance
You should have took me out when you had the chance

All the rooms renumbered
And losers turned away

Don't turn away (You should have took me out when you had the chance)
Don't turn away (You should have took me out when you had the chance)

[Outro]
There were ten in the bed
And the little one said
Roll over
There were ten in the bed
And the little one said
Roll over

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
