[Verse 1]
I was trialing through fire, but never more
I left with burns, but I left with nothing more
I was lapping up the water that poured from your mouth
But, but it wasn’t enough to put out the lasting drought

[Pre-Chorus]
Here I am, a vision
So far out don’t rob me of young
Don’t you know? That I can’t come

[Chorus]
But just for once
And just for love
I’m stuck on you, just like a chewing gum

[Verse 2]
I was hoping for a good time but there was only bad
Don’t you get caught up in stuff you never had
I was drowning in the air, it blew through my ears
I couldn’t hear then, only the siren’s song

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m the cork board, you were the pin, but no one came to work that day
The office empty and there was nothing to say

[Chorus]
But just for once
And just for love
I’m stuck on you, just like a chewing gum
Life is short, life is fun and I’m young and so dumb
Stuck on you like a chew like a chewing gum

[Verse 3]
I’m the sneaker on the athlete, sometimes my soul’s worn thin
But there is backups, when there is skin in the game
I was dreaming of a dinner that would fill up my plate

I was doing the dishes, cleaning, but I never ate

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m the voice of my young self when I was just a child
She sings ‘Hey hey girl, you are doing fine’

[Chorus]
Life is short, life is fun, I am young and in love
Stuck on you, just like a chewing gum
Life is short, life is fun, I am young and so dumb
Stuck on you like a chew like a chewing gum

[Bridge]
Just for once
Here I am
A vision
Hold on tight
Give me something, I’m alive, just for once I ride

[Bridge]
Just for you, I don’t have to be so crazy
Stuck on you, stuck on me
Can’t you see me baby?

[Post-bridge]
You were giving me the spotlight, I was in it
I was young and in desire, I’m a winner
Can you put your heart down there?
Are you with me?
Can you live your life large, baby? I believe it

[Chorus]
I used to be oh so tough, but for love I’ll be dumb
Stuck on you, stuck like glue, stuck like chewing gum
