About This Track

'Beloved' by Celeste is a 2021 pop song from the album 'Not Your Muse'. The lyrics weigh desire and reassurance, with the speaker fixated on a love that feels fated, despite the warning implied in “lightening don’t strike twice”. There is a flirtatious urgency in the images of closeness and attention, paired with a refusal to learn from past hesitations. The perspective stays intimate and forward-moving, circling around the want to be held again, with little interest in where the other person has been.

"Beloved" is a track by Celeste, from the album Not Your Muse, released 29th January 2021. The track is 3:58 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 7 articles about Celeste.

Lyrics

Beloved

I heard lightening don't strike twice
Could you be the man of my dreams?
Oh, nothing like with your hand on my thigh
But my heart doesn't mind

I see you on every corner
Twist and I turn
Never learn, sleep, don't wanna tell you
Hold me again, I don't care where you been
Just wanna know where I stand

Dearly beloved, if I had my way
You'd be here to stay
Oh, believe me, beloved, if I had my way
You'd be here to stay

Sometimes I stare when I don't mean to
Do you realise?
You never seem to open your eyes
When I'm here and I'm trying
You don't know what it's like

Dearly beloved, if I had my way
You'd be here to stay
Oh, believe, believe me, beloved, if I had my way
You would have had yours in the first place

These little notes get sweeter
Sweeter than most
I see you reaching for hope
You hear me say

Dearly beloved, if I had my way
You'd be here, and you'd be here to stay
Oh, believe me, beloved
