[Verse 1] They stepped inside her apartment, tension thick but sweet Cats went running under beds on nervous silent feet Nana kicked her biker boots off, pulled her t-shirt slow Silent invitation hanging in the soft room glow [Verse 2] Ewing sat there frozen on the chair beside the door Heart was racing, hands were unsure what they waited for She took his hand and kissed him, guiding fingers to her skin Awkward tenderness unfolding where the night begins [Pre-Chorus] Clothes came off in pieces, laughter mixed with nervous breath [Chorus] Clumsy hearts in candlelight, tender in their mess Awkward hands and gentle laughs, learning how to undress From unsure steps to holding close, beauty in between Two souls finding sweetness in the spaces in between [Verse 3] They discussed the little things with smiles between each kiss Bodies moving honest, full of care and awkward bliss He finished fast and breathless, needing time to come around She held him through the quiet, never making him feel down [Pre-Chorus] Naked in the kitchen, grabbing soda, grabbing beer [Chorus] Clumsy hearts in candlelight, tender in their mess Awkward hands and gentle laughs, learning how to undress From unsure steps to holding close, beauty in between Two souls finding sweetness in the spaces in between [Bridge] Calico cat emerged at last and rubbed against his knee Ginger one came closer too, accepting him so free In that small and simple moment, something warm and true Love shown in the quiet ways her cats accepted you [Verse 4] They dressed again with soft goodbyes and cheeks still flushed with heat A gentle kiss outside her door, both feeling bittersweet Though the night was full of stumbles, tenderness remained A beautiful beginning wrapped in joy and sweet refrain [Pre-Chorus] Texts would soon confess what words could barely say [Chorus - Outro] Clumsy hearts in candlelight, tender in their mess Awkward hands and gentle laughs, learning how to undress From unsure steps to holding close, beauty in between Two souls finding sweetness… in the spaces in between
