Eyes Like Glue Lyrics
I see you watching me
Your eyes are just like glue
Stuck like glue to every
Foolish thing I say and do
But there's a safer distance
Still not out of touch
If Daddy's quiet it probably means
He's thinking way too much
Someday you'll be a man
You'll have a big old brain
You won't need it but
You'll try to use it just the same
But it's like any house lonely people roam around
Wasted empty space a maze
With only one way out
Nobody ever told me half the things
I'm telling you
Even if they had I'd have had
The same look that you do
Sometimes you think it and
You just want to hear it said out loud
If no one else does then it's up to you
To shout it out
You'll want to do it all
And you'll believe you can
But when the best that you can do
Becomes all you can stand
You'll know you're just a man
When you feel all the weight press down
Next time you're watching me
Remember that's all I am now
Your eyes are just like glue
Stuck like glue to every
Foolish thing I say and do
But there's a safer distance
Still not out of touch
If Daddy's quiet it probably means
He's thinking way too much
You'll have a big old brain
You won't need it but
You'll try to use it just the same
But it's like any house lonely people roam around
Wasted empty space a maze
With only one way out
I'm telling you
Even if they had I'd have had
The same look that you do
Sometimes you think it and
You just want to hear it said out loud
If no one else does then it's up to you
To shout it out
And you'll believe you can
But when the best that you can do
Becomes all you can stand
You'll know you're just a man
When you feel all the weight press down
Next time you're watching me
Remember that's all I am now

It sounds like a song written from a father to a son. It's beautiful.
I'm a Dad to a young one, and I'm sure any other Dad out there could tell you how accurate this is to how you feel so inadequate, so imperfect in comparison to the blank slate in front of you. Very moving song.
