Once, A Glimpse Lyrics

Put away hard to find
I don't remember why I started speaking
A fast track operation
Slow exertion over-ridden
Unseen tough to catch
I can't remember why I started drinking
One track mind each and everytime
Speed exertion country living
Engage the men in trust
I can't remember why I started hurting
Another street light going down
The night reveals itself to you
Slipping under sliding down
All I need is a certain trigger
The path you take will never make you happy
All I need is a certain spur

Once a glimpse was all I needed
I don't remember why I had to give you back
I just remember I kept all of your souvenirs
Discarded traces of a love I never had

Enforced and then enabled
I don't remember why I started breathing
Tied up turn him loose
Slow desertion kept me hidden
That's that no escaping
I can't remember why I started thinking
Wrapped up cutting back
Their inertia left you driven

Once a glimpse was all I needed
I don't remember why I had to give you back
I just remember I kept all of your souvenirs
Discarded traces of a love I never had

Once a glimpse was all I needed
I don't remember why I had to give you back
I just remember I kept all of your souvenirs
Discarded traces of a love I never had

I wish that I could say that I don't need you anymore
I heard every word you said and that is all
I wish that I could say that I don't need you anymore
I heard every word you said and that is all

Just a glimpse was all I needed
I dont remember why I had to give you back
I just remember I kept all of your souvenirs
Discarded traces of a love I never had

I don't think your gonna get that early night
I don't think your gonna get that early night
I don't think your gonna get that early night
I don't think your gonna get it

Just a glimpse was all I needed
I don't remember why I had to give you back
I just remember I kept all of your souvenirs
Discarded traces of a love I never had

I love the drum bit at the beginning, woo this song rocks. This band is 100000 times better than Arctic Monkeys.

it's my favourite on a certain trigger too, but I like the second album better. This song is awesome, though. One of my favourites. I agree with hothothot!. everyone is really crazy about arctic monkeys (not that theyre bad..) so they dont recognize the really GREAT bands... band... like maximo park
