Once, a Glimpse Lyrics

Put away hard to find

I don't remember why I started speakin'

Fast track operation

Slow exertion, overridden



Unseen tough to catch

I cant remember why I started drinkin'

One track mind each and every time

Speed exertion, country living



Engage the men in trust

I cant remember why I started hurtin'

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 breathin'

Tied up, turn him loose

Slow desertion kept me hidden



That's that no escapin'

I cant remember why I started thinkin'

Wrapped up, cuttin' back

Oh, their inertia left you driven



And once a glimpse was all I needed

I don't remember why I had to give you back

I just remember that I kept all of your souvenirs

Discarded traces of a love I never had



And 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, "I don't need you anymore"

I heard every word you said and that is all

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

I heard every word you said and that is all



And 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 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



'Cause just a glimpse was all I needed

I don't remember why I had to give you back

I don't remember, I kept all of your souvenirs

Discarded traces of a love I never had
