Stuck in the Moment
Justin Bieber Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

With you,
With you,
I wish we had another time,
I wish we had another place

Now Romeo and Juliet,
Bet they never felt the way we felt,
Bonnie and Clyde,
Never had to hide like,
We do,
We do

You and I both know it can't work,
It's all fun and games,
'Til someone gets hurt,
And I don't,
I won't let that be you

Now you don't wanna let go,
And I don't wanna let you know,
There might be something real between us two, who knew?
Now we don't wanna fall but,
We're tripping in our hearts and it's reckless and clumsy,
'Cause I know you can't love me here

I wish we had another time,
I wish we had another place,
But everything we had is stuck in the moment,
And there's nothing my heart can do (can do),
To fight with time and space 'cause,
I'm still stuck in the moment with you

See like Adam and Eve,
Tragedy was our destiny,
Like Sunny and Cher,
I don't care,
I got you baby

See we both,
Fightin' every inch of our fiber,
'Cause ain't no way,
It's gonna end right but,
We are both too foolish to stop

Now you don't wanna let go,
And I don't wanna let you know,
That there might be something real between us two, who knew?
And we don't wanna fall but,
We're tripping in our hearts and it's reckless and clumsy,
And I know you can't love me here

I wish we had another time,
I wish we had another place,
But everything we had is stuck in the moment 'cause,
I'm still stuck in the moment with you

See like,
Just because this cold cold world saying we can't be,
Baby, we both have the right to disagree,
And I ain't with it,
And I don't wanna be so old and gray,
Reminiscin' 'bout these better days,
But convention's telling us to let go,
So we'll never know

I wish we had another time,
I wish we had another place,
'Cause everything we did,
And everything we have is stuck in the moment,
Yeah

I wish we had another time,
I wish we had another place,
But everything we have is stuck in the moment,
And there's nothing my heart can do,
(Nothing my heart can do),
To fight with time and space 'cause, (and space)
I'm still stuck in the moment with you,
Yeah,

Overall Meaning

In Justin Bieber's song "Stuck in the Moment", the lyrics speak of a fleeting love that has reached its end but is, nevertheless, lodged in the memories of the singer. The lyrics describe the feelings of being trapped in the moment with a lover and the desire for a different time and place to relive those experiences. Throughout the song, there are references to famous couples like Romeo and Juliet, Bonnie and Clyde, Adam and Eve, and Sunny and Cher, to describe the intensity of love that was shared but lost. The lyrics acknowledge the impossibility of starting again while still wishing for something more.


The lyrics also show the fear of getting too attached to someone and the pain that follows when it comes to an end. The lines "It's all fun and games/ 'Til someone gets hurt" highlight this fear. The lyrics acknowledge that the love that the singer and partner share is reckless and clumsy, but they're unable to stop as they're too foolish to stop fighting for it. They're aware of the consequences of their actions, yet they cannot help falling for each other again and again.


One of the main messages of the song is that true love can be confining and suffocating, but it is worth fighting for, even if it is destined to end in pain. The song's lyrics may reflect Bieber's personal experience with his relationship with Selena Gomez, which was known to be on-and-off and turbulent.

Our love story has been predestined to fail, but like famous couples before us, I don't care as long as I have you by my side.

We're continuing to ignore our feelings for each other and denying that we have something real. We're blindly falling in love, even though we know the timing and situation isn't right for us.

The world may be against us, but we have the right to fight for our love. I don't want to look back and regret not fighting for us. Society may tell us to let go, but we'll never know what could have been if we do.


I wish we had another time, I wish we had another place, 'Cause everything we did, And everything we have is stuck in the moment, Yeah
I wish we could have changed the circumstances of our love, because everything we've shared, everything we have is stuck in this moment.
