I was trialling 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
Here I am, a vision, so far out, don't rob me of young
Don't you know that I can't come?

But just for once, and just for love
I'm stuck on you just like a chewing gum

I was hoping for a good time but there was only bad
Don't ya 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
I'm the corkboard, you were the pin, but no one came to work that day
The office empty, and there was nothing to say

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

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
I'm the voice of my young self when I was just a child
She sings: Hey, hey, girl, you are doing fine

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

Just for once, here I am
A vision, hold on tight
Give me something, I'm alive
Just for once, I ride
Just for you, I don't have to be so crazy
Stuck on you, stuck on me, can't you see me, baby?

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