Once, A Glimpse Songtext
von Maxïmo Park

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
