Tiptoeing Lyrics

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

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

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

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
Fantasizing, if you want to, you could stay
And be my baby but our hearts might break
So we keep tiptoeing

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 am scared to lose

And there's a moral to the story but I have lost my head
There's a million different secrets we should leave unsaid
Should be running from it, when I want it, I do

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
Fantasizing, if you want to, you could stay
And be my baby but our hearts might break
So we keep tiptoeing

Tiptoes, tiptoes, you got me on my tiptoes, tiptoes
We want to but we both know both know
There's too much to lose

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
Fantasizing, if you want to, you could stay
And be my baby but our hearts might break
So we keep tiptoeing

Tiptoes, tiptoes, you got me on my tiptoes, tiptoes
We want to but we both know, both know
There's too much to lose

What is the Meaning of Tiptoeing?

Ever found yourself dancing on the edge of romance, afraid to take the plunge? That's exactly where Hope Tala's lyrics lead us. This song is like a tango of temptation and hesitation, where two people are drawn to each other but fear the fallout of diving into love. They’re stuck in this endless loop of “will-they-won’t-they,” too scared to risk their hearts yet too enchanted to walk away. It’s a lyrical ballet of longing and restraint, making us all wonder if sometimes tiptoeing around feelings is just another way to fall harder. #LoveDilemma #EmotionalTango #ForbiddenFruit #HeartStrings
