[Chorus]
How you gonna make me do this dance again?
We're getting closer but we're trying to be friends
If we start it might never end, so we keep tiptoeing
[Verse 1]
When we met I wasn't interested
I did half a glance, didn't want to chance it
Now I lie awake and I think about you
[Pre-Chorus]
Because there's a moral to this story but I don't know it
Always listen to myself but not this time I guess
Keep on running from it, when I want it, I do
[Chorus]
How you gonna make me do this dance again?
We're getting closer but we're trying to be friends
If we start it might never end, so we keep tiptoeing
I drag my heels 'cause I just can't walk away
Fantasising if you want to you could stay
And be my baby but our hearts might break
So we keep tiptoeing
[Verse 2]
It's forbidden but I still want you
I wanna taste the fruit, but I just can't chance it
So much at risk and I'm scared to lose
[Pre-Chorus]
And there's a moral to the story but I've lost my head
There's a million different secrets we should leave unsaid
Should be running from it, when I want it, I do
[Chorus]
How you gonna make me do this dance again?
We're getting closer but we're trying to be friends
If we start it might never end, so we keep tiptoeing
I drag my heels 'cause I just can't walk away
Fantasising if you want to you could stay
And be my baby but our hearts might break
So we keep tiptoeing
[Bridge]
Tiptoes, tiptoes, you got me on my tiptoes, tiptoes
We want to but we both know, both know there’s too much to lose
[Chorus]
How you gonna make me do this dance again?
We're getting closer but we're trying to be friends
If we start it might never end, so we keep tiptoeing
I drag my heels 'cause I just can't walk away
Fantasising if you want to you could stay
And be my baby but our hearts might break
So we keep tiptoeing
[Outro]
Tiptoes, tiptoes, you got me on my tiptoes, tiptoes
We want to but we both know, both know there’s too much to lose
Tiptoeing was written by Greg Kurstin & Hope Tala.
Tiptoeing was produced by Greg Kurstin.
“Tiptoeing” is about the dance we do when we’re at the threshold of romance. It’s about treading carefully when you’re not quite sure what the other person is feeling, but desperately wanting to take a risk because you’re young and life is short.
