about

My first foray back into releasing music after a 2 year hiatus between 2017 and 2019. Most of the lyrics came to me in a gym change room, but didn't really have a melody. Then I met Thomas McKay and he came in with this guitar part and I started singing "Can I get a quick fix...a sugar high, something I can get addicted to..." and that, my friends, is how the song was born.

lyrics

Im looking for a quick fix
A sugar high
Something I
Can get addicted to
While I’m coming down from you

I’m still reeling from the last hit
Your body
On my body
And how you touched it
I’m so down for you

Can’t get you out of my system
Who am I kidding
I wouldn’t quit you

Sugar you’re just like cotton candy
Melt in my mouth making me feel heavy
Know it’s no good but I won’t regret now
Oh
Sugar you’re just like cotton candy
Sweet temptation making me crazy
Know it’s no good but I won’t regret now

Now that I let my guard down
I’m all in
Free falling
I’m getting used to
Coming down from you

You got me higher than the CN
Cartwheeling
Daydreaming about getting
Another taste of you

Can’t get you out of my system
Who am I kidding
I wouldn’t quit you

Sugar you’re just like cotton candy
Melt in my mouth making me feel heavy
Know it’s no good but I won’t regret now
Oh
Sugar you’re just like cotton candy
Sweet temptation making me crazy
Know it’s no good but I won’t regret now

This isn’t artificial, superficial
It’s not just for show
Ooh, whooa-ooh

This isn’t artificial, superficial
It’s not just for show
Oh it’s physical, it’s critical

Ooo
Sugar you’re just like cotton candy
Melt in my mouth making me feel heavy
Know it’s no good but I won’t regret now
Oh
Sugar you’re just like cotton candy
Sweet temptation making me crazy
Know it’s no good but I won’t regret now

This isn’t artificial, superficial
It’s not just for show
Oh it’s physical
