Maxïmo Park - Once, A Glimpse [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus x2]
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

[Bridge x2]
I wish that I could say I don't need you any more
I heard every word you said and that is all

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
