“Pack of Gum” followed “Insecure” as the second single from Demo Taped’s 2018 Momentary EP. The song discusses mental health and losing touch with a former lover.
Taped spoke to Billboard about the track:
It’s about not wanting to be forgotten by someone you love. It’s called ‘Pack of Gum’ because...
[Chorus]
You're rising up
Above my head
Why don't you come down?
Why don't you come down?
You're rising up
Above my head
Why don't you come down?
Why don't you come down for me?
[Verse 1]
Please hesitate
You got no time to wait
Don't let me slip away
Don't lose sight of me now
I wanna get it straight
Never ending
Take a moment out your day
Talk to me now
[Pre-Chorus] x2
I can't imagine not
Loving you
I'm not desperate, no
I'm just telling the truth
(The truth)
[Chorus]
You're rising up
Above my head
Why don't you come down?
Why don't you come down?
You're rising up
Above my head
Why don't you come down?
Why don't you come down for me?
[Verse 2]
Please hesitate
Is this just my fate?
I'm slipping away
Don't lose track of me now
Do I just replay
My memories today or
Can I have a break?
Can I see your face?
[Pre-Chorus] x2
I can't imagine not
Loving you
I'm not desperate, no
I'm just telling the truth
(The truth)
[Chorus]
You're rising up
Above my head
Why don't you come down?
Why don't you come down?
You're rising up
Above my head
Why don't you come down?
Why don't you come down for me?
