Once, A Glimpse - Maxïmo Park

Cut away, 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 why 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 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

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 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 wish that I could say I don’t need you any more

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 night

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

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

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
