She lived in grassy, green Madison County, Tennessee where people are as sweet as the tea they make. She'd sing songs in her yard and run around with ballerinas, big kitty cats and her brothers all the livelong day. One winter evening Lauren decided she wanted a change of scenery. She wanted to leave her comfortable grasslands and start a joyride. She traveled far to La La land and danced with the faeries in Beverly Hills, all the while humming along to Bob Marley and playing pianos. Then Lauren ventured to Gotham City(out of a pure and deep love for Batman)to take to the stages of the great White Way as a long-haired bohemian. Now 6 years, 5 tattoos, 4 electric tea kettles, 3 cities, 2 tours and 1 Nord keyboard later, she's in the bushes with the shepherds of London, singing of her homeland with the Lolo Army ready for the next round of life attacks. Lauren knows life is first-rate come what may. The End.

Stuck
Lauren Pritchard Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you look forward to me coming home?
Do I make it better?
I know when I'm travelling on the bus think of you sweet like dinner
I don't mind all those dopey looks we get cos we stay together

And everybody seems to think there's so much to see, but I think those same people must be jealous of me

'Cause if I'm stuck

Then at least I'm stuck with you
(Don't you know, don't you know)
That if you're holding on to me
Then you beta you it through
'Cause you know, cos you know)

All of my friends tryna where me down
But they're just plain vanilla
You know that I almost bowed in for once
But that was gone and finished
And I don't see you
Like they see their men
They only see saints or sinners

And everybody seems to think its from duty free, but you can keep your freedom
'Cause I got what I need

'Cause if I'm stuck

Then at least I'm stuck with you
(Don't you know, don't you know)
That if you're holding on to me
Then you beta you it through
('Cause you know, cos you know)

You should know I think about it
Hear me out before you doubt it
Ain't ya get your book of rules
But I'm still more free then you
When ya gonna open up and see
Yeah
If I'm stuck with you
Yeah

'Cause if I'm stuck
Then at least I'm stuck with you
(Don't you know, don't you know)
That if you're holding on to me
Then you beta you it through

('Cause you know, cos you know)
('Cause you know, cos you know)

It commences by questioning whether the person looks forward to coming back home and helps make things better. There is a sense of longing for the person while traveling in the bus, and the memories of the person are sweet like dinner. Despite receiving dopey looks while being together, it does not matter because the person is happy with the company of his/her partner. In this stanza, it suggests that some people are envious of what others have.

In the second stanza, there is a reference to friends trying to bring the singer down by wanting him/her to conform to societal norms. Still, the singer is happier with his/her present company.

Furthermore, the lyrics suggest that even though they could be stuck, there is a higher purpose and assurance knowing that they have each other.

The bridge of the song emphasizes the idea of freedom and rules. Here, it implies that the singer is free to be with their partner and happy about it. The song's message is optimistic, showing how being contented is a feeling of freedom when one is happy with their present situation.
