During her teenage years, she began composing songs. She taught herself guitar. Inspired by the sounds of artists like Tom Waits and Bob Dylan, Gloeckner spent hours in her spare bedroom-turned-recording studio creating her first album.

Glue
Jen Gloeckner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I knew I would
And I'd kiss you
If I thought I could
I need something that means
Something to me
A clear cut vision
Only wondering who
Oh it warms ya
Heats ya up and pours ya
Back in your pile of glue
In Jen Gloeckner's song "Glue," the lyrics talk about the feeling of missing someone and wanting to be close to them again. Despite the longing for a kiss, the singer knows that it is not possible for them to be together. They are searching for something meaningful to fill the void, a clear-cut vision of what they're missing. The lyric "back in your pile of glue" suggests that the singer has been left feeling stuck and unable to move on from this relationship, and they are desperately searching for something to help them let go.
Line by Line Meaning
I miss you
I feel a sense of longing and desire for your presence
But I knew I would
I anticipated feeling this way since we've been apart
And I'd kiss you
If given the chance, I would express my affection physically
If I thought I could
However, I'm uncertain if it's appropriate or if you reciprocate my feelings
I need something that means
I require something that holds significance and value to me
Something to me
Something that resonates deeply within my soul
A clear cut vision
I desire a distinct and well-defined picture of what I'm missing
Of what I'm missing I was
I'm aware that there's an absence in my life that needs to be filled
Only wondering who
I'm unsure of who or what can fulfill this void
Oh it warms ya
But then I found something that makes me feel good inside
Heats ya up and pours ya
It fills me with warmth and passion
Back in your pile of glue
It's like being reunited with an old familiar friend, reminding me of the comfort and security I once had
