Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Something in the space between our words
Static in the air I haven't felt before, Oh
Every little heartbeat's like a spark
Lighting up the quiet in the dark, oh oh

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know where this is going
But the moment's got me glowing
I don't need a definition
To be drawn into the friction

[Chorus]
Let's cut this beautiful tension with a knife
Let it flow, wrap the ribbon on you and I, ahh
We don't need permission or a sign
Just breathe, just be, in the pull of the moment tonight

Beautiful tension...
Beautiful tension...

[Verse 2]
Movin' like a rhythm in the room
Something 'bout the way you shift the mood
Every little glance becomes a storm
But somehow it still feels calm and warm

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know where this is going
But the moment's got me glowing
I don't need a definition
To be drawn into the friction

[Chorus]
Let's cut this beautiful tension with a knife
Let it flow, wrap the ribbon on you and I
We don't need permission or a sign
Just breathe, just be, in the pull of the moment tonight

Beautiful tension...
Beautiful tension...

[Bridge]
Maybe it's nothing
Maybe it's fate
Maybe it's something we can't name

But whatever this is
I don't wanna escape
This beautiful tension that we create

[Final Chorus]
Let's cut this beautiful tension with a knife
Let it flow, wrap the ribbon on you and I
We don't need permission or a sign
Just breathe, just be, in the pull of the moment tonight

Beautiful tension...
Beautiful tension...
