[Intro — soft guitar, gentle Dream vocal] There's a blanket on the sofa, And a light above the stairs. One of us is halfway dreaming, One is running everywhere. And somehow, in the middle, Of the quiet and the noise, You always make room for both. [Verse 1 — Dream lead, warm clean vocals] I fall asleep mid-sentence, With my pillow on your knee. You tuck the blanket round my shoulders, Let the rest of the words leave. You never call my quiet empty, Never tell me I should change. When I wake up three hours later, You're still smiling just the same. And when the world gets overwhelming, When I need somewhere to hide, I know exactly where to find you, And there's always room beside. [Pre-Chorus — Mare joins in low harmony] One of us is soft as dreaming, One is thunder in the hall. You never asked us to be different. You just loved us through it all. [Chorus — BOTH, soaring clean harmony] HEY, KITTY MAMA! CAN YOU HEAR US NOW? We're the hush and we're the riot, We're the thunder and the clouds! You never asked for perfect daughters, Never tried to make us one. You just opened up your arms And made a home for both of us! When the world gets way too heavy, When we've had more than enough, HEY, KITTY MAMA! YOU'VE GOT BOTH OF US! [Verse 2 — Mare lead, playful grit, heavier guitars] I come home at three in the morning, Still got trouble in my grin. You just look at me across the kitchen, "Don't you even start again." You know exactly what I'm thinking, Before I even say a word. I swear you've got some kind of radar, For the bullshit I've rehearsed. You make me eat before I leave, Tell me not to break the house. I say I'm not gonna do it. You give me that look. ...Fine. I'll behave for now. [Pre-Chorus — both, rising intensity] You know when my jokes stop landing, When the noise is just a shield. You don't have to make me talk. You just let me know you're here. [Chorus — BOTH, heavier harmonies] HEY, KITTY MAMA! CAN YOU HEAR US NOW? We're the hush and we're the riot, We're the thunder and the clouds! You never asked for perfect daughters, Never tried to make us one. You just opened up your arms And made a home for both of us! When the world gets way too heavy, When we've had more than enough, HEY, KITTY MAMA! YOU'VE GOT BOTH OF US! [Bridge — stripped guitar, intimate shared vocals] Pink hair falling on your shoulders, Blue eyes catching morning light. That fluffy tail gives you away When you're trying not to smile. We don't say it nearly often enough, We get distracted, run around. But every time you call us yours, We know exactly what we've found. Not just somewhere we can sleep. Not just somewhere we belong. A mama who can love the quiet, And still sing along with all our noise. [Breakdown — Mare harsh lead, Dream clean layers] LET HER DREAM! LET HER RUN! LET THE WHOLE DAMN HOUSE COME UNDONE! TWO DIFFERENT HEARTS! TWO DIFFERENT MINDS! YOU NEVER MADE US PICK A SIDE! WE AREN'T HALVES! WE AREN'T THE SAME! BUT WE BOTH SMILE WHEN YOU SAY OUR NAMES! [Half-time stop — both voices] And if you ever need somebody... MAMA, YOU'VE GOT US! HEY, KITTY MAMA! CAN YOU HEAR US NOW? HEY, KITTY MAMA! [Final Chorus — massive dual clean vocals, harsh doubles] HEY, KITTY MAMA! CAN YOU HEAR US NOW? We're the hush and we're the riot, And we're singing twice as loud! You never asked for perfect daughters, Never tried to make us one. You just opened up your arms And made a home for both of us! If your own sky starts to darken, If the days get far too rough, You don't have to carry everything. YOU'VE GOT BOTH OF US! [Outro — guitars soften, Dream and Mare in gentle harmony] One of us is almost sleeping, One is talking way too much. You tell us both to settle down. We don't. You laugh. We love you, Mama.
