Stuck To You
Hellogoodbye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For almost a whole month
If I held your breath
At least we would touch
Keeping from you
Keeps me from sleep
It's just this bad beat
That I just can't keep
Oh, girl it's true
I can never be away from you
It's like you gloss your lips with glue
Oh, we kiss and I am stuck to you
My heart's on the floor
My feet feel like lead
I'd quit the tour
But I'm already dead
Our only connection
Is synthetically
We show our affection
Electronically
Oh, girl it's true
I can never be away from you
It's like you gloss your lips with glue
Oh, we kiss and I am stuck to you
We lock lips and throw the key out
Till it slips that I must leave town
Our love reaches across oceans
To your beaches, lonely notions
Oh, girl it's true
I can never be away from you
It's like you gloss your lips with glue
Oh, we kiss and I am stuck to you
The song "Stuck To You" by Hellogoodbye explores the idea of a person being so in love with their partner that they feel like they are physically stuck to them. The lyrics of the song use metaphors to describe this feeling such as "It's like you gloss your lips with glue" and "we kiss and I am stuck to you." The song expresses the desperation and longing of the singer to be with their partner, even if it means holding their breath or feeling dead on tour.
The song also touches on the role of technology in modern relationships, as the only connection the singer has with their partner is through electronic means. The line "Our only connection is synthetically" suggests that their relationship is not as intimate or genuine as it could be. Despite the distance and lack of physical presence, the singer's love for their partner is enough to make them feel like they are stuck to them.
Overall, the song portrays the idea of being completely consumed by love, to the point where it's almost suffocating but also comforting at the same time.
