Lyrics

Once A Glimpse

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 cant remember why I started drinking,

One track mind each and everytime,

Speed exertion country living,

Engage the men in trust,

I cant 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 cant remember why I started thinking,

Wrapped up cuttin 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

X2

I wish that I could say that I don't need you anymore,

I heard every word you said and that is all

X2

Once 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
