Lyrics

Once, a Glimpse

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
