Lyrics Maximo Park – Once, A Glimpse

Cut away and hard to find
I don’t remember why I started speaking
Fast-track operation
Slow exertion over ridden

Unseen tough to catch
I can’t remember why I started drinking
One-track mind each and every time
Smooth insertion country living

Engage and then entrust
I can’t remember when I started hurting
Another streetlight 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 can’t remember why I have to give you back
I just remember that I kept all of your souvenirs
Salvaged 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 can’t remember why I have to give you back

Just a glimpse was all I needed
I can’t remember why I have to give you back
I just remember that I kept all of your souvenirs
Salvaged 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

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

I don’t think you’re gonna get that early bed
I don’t think you’re gonna get that early night
I don’t think you’re gonna get that early bed
I don’t think you’re gonna get it

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