Gum
Sticky Reminders of Love: Emily Krueger's 'Gum' Melody
Lyrics
I found your gum in my pocket
Discovering something associated with the person
Now I'm thinking of you, yea
Currently reminiscing about the person
Thinking of you, it got me thinking of you
Continuously reflecting on thoughts about the person
I thought I broke it like a habit
Believed the connection was broken, but it persists
but it stuck on my shoe, yea
A metaphor - the connection is stubborn and won't leave
stuck on my shoe, so baby what to I do
Asking for guidance on what to do with this persistent connection
When I stay up all night tryna
Struggling through the night to replicate a feeling similar to what the person brings
Make it feel right like you do
Attempting to emulate the person's effect, but failing
but it ain't you
Acknowledging that the feeling isn't the same as being with the person
There's an issue I got
Recognizing a problem
Can't make it stop
Unable to end the issue
been hanging on for too long
Clutching onto the problem for too long
Tryna put the cigarette out
Trying to quit, but struggling to understand why it persists
can't figure out why it's still going so strong
Perplexed by the lingering strength of the problem
Said it when I left, that I could do without it
Expressed the intent to live without it
Better for my health, yea I don't really need it
Stating it's better for well-being, but struggling to let go
But Karma been a bitch, and she won't let me win
Consequences are making it hard to move on
I found your gum in my pocket
Reiteration of discovering a reminder of the person
Now I'm thinking of you, yea
Continued thoughts about the person due to the reminder
Thinking of you, it got me thinking of you
Repetitive thoughts sparked by the reminder
I thought I broke it like a habit
Believed the tie was broken, but it remains
but it stuck on my shoe, yea
Similar metaphor of an enduring connection
stuck on my shoe, so what to I do
Seeking advice on dealing with the persistent tie
When I stay up all night tryna
Struggling to recreate the emotional state the person induces
Make it feel right like you do
Attempting to replicate the impact of the person but failing
but it ain't you
Acknowledging the inability to match the person's influence
Every time I think Im over it
Believing to have moved past it, yet drawn back
Something happens and right back to it
Unexpectedly returning to the initial issue
I think I like it that I'm hooked on it
Considering it might be enjoyable to be hooked on it
Maybe it's more than a coincidence
Suggesting it might not be a coincidence but a deeper connection
Said it when I left, that I could do without it
Asserting the ability to live without it
Better for my health, yea I don't really need it
Recognizing it's beneficial to let go but struggling to do so
But Karma been a bitch, and she won't let me win
Consequences of actions are preventing moving forward
I found your gum in my pocket
Rediscovering the reminder of the person
Now I'm thinking of you, yea
Rekindling thoughts about the person due to the reminder
Thinking of you, it got me thinking of you
Continuing thoughts triggered by the reminder
I thought I broke it like a habit
Believed the bond was broken, yet it persists
but it stuck on my shoe, yea
Reiteration of a persistent, enduring connection
stuck on my shoe, so what to I do
Asking for guidance on handling the persistent connection
When I stay up all night tryna
Struggling to replicate the feeling induced by the person
Make it feel right like you do
Attempting to mimic the person's impact but falling short
but it ain't you
Acknowledging the inability to match the person's influence
