Lyrics to Celest's song:

Tiptoe
© Celest

Knocked out through the day
The nights with you last so long
If we stay tucked away
I'll call out from your arms
Fell sick under charm
To your voice like honey
Honeyyyy
And the rain outside
Makes a unfair fight

Tiptoe down the hallway
Pick your side of the bed
Spend all night spend all day
like you do in my head
When you leave me tell me
You’ll be back  again
‘Cause I can't wait
No I can't wait to see you again

If I were time id fly
Like the times with you
Ask me anything you want
Bc I know you got a few
Questions for me
Like it's too good to be true
Ask me
How I feel
And I'll tell you to

Tiptoe down the hallway
Pick your Side of the bed
Spend all night
Spend all day
like you do in my head
When you leave me
Tell me you’ll be back again
‘Cause I can't wait
No I can't wait to see you again
