the sun rises yet again today
get out of bed after a long delay
give the wife and kids a smile and say:
"there's plenty more time"

after another day of work and sweat
sit at the bar, get my pallette wet
i don't feel like going home just yet
"there's plenty more time"

i've bit my tongue so long that i can't speak
i'm too afraid of me appearing weak

cuz i'm the glue
but how am i supposed to be the glue
holding everything together
i'm confused
when everything i say sounds untrue
i want to tell you everything
that i am just as terrified as you

my dad and i we've built a wall
we're both too guarded to let it fall
i want to tell him i forgive it all
but there's plenty more time

i don't enjoy this role i play
i really really want to make a change
i hope someday i wake up and say:
"i'm running out of time"

i'm stuck inside a game of hide and seek
but no one knows to come and look for me

cuz i'm the glue
but how am i supposed to be the glue
holding everything together
i'm confused
when everything i say feels untrue
i want to tell you everything
that i am just as terrified as you

i want to tell you everything
(how am i supposed to be) i do
(i want to tell you everything) i do
(how am i supposed to be) i do

how am i supposed to be?
yes how am i supposed to be?
how am i supposed to be the glue?
