Chewing Gum

I've never looked so young
So now it's all looking down
She's been on my mind like gum stuck to the ground

I've never been so high
The blue birds in the sky
Up overhead like they know something I don't

And if I've been overplaying
The cards that I've been dealt
I hope you won't mind me saying you look lovely
But I don't quite know why

You're wrapped in armor
And cut through the cracks
It's easy to love you, and harder to love me back

I've never been so wrong
The red lights mark the ground
On my feet like anvils hitting their place

And if I've been underplaying
The cards that I've been dealt
I hope you won't mind me saying you look lovely
But I don't quite know why

You're dressed in armor
And cut through with the cracks
It's easy to love you, and harder to love me back (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
It's easy to love you, and harder to love me back (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
It's easy to love you, and harder to love me back

I wish we were strangers
Maybe then I'd have a chance
I wish we were lovers
Boy, I'd die to have a dance

With you
With you
With you
