Glimpse of Us
Joji Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She'd take the world off my shoulders
If it was ever hard to move
She'd turn the rain to a rainbow
When I was living in the blue
Why then, if she is so perfect
Do I still wish that it was you?
Perfect don't mean that it's working
So what can I do? (Ooh)

When you're out of sight
In my mind

'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinking of the way it was
Said I'm fine and said I moved on
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find
A glimpse of us

Tell me he savors your glory
Does he laugh the way I did?
Is this a part of your story?
One that I had never lived
Maybe one day you'll feel lonely
And in his eyes, you'll get a glimpse
Maybe you'll start slipping slowly
And find me again

When you're out of sight
In my mind

'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinking of the way it was
Said I'm fine and said I moved on
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find
A glimpse of us

Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinking of the way it was
Said I'm fine and said I moved on
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find
A glimpse of us

Overall Meaning

In Joji's song "Glimpse of Us," he reflects on his conflicting feelings between his current romantic partner and his past lover. Joji describes his current partner as someone who is able to take the weight of the world off his shoulders and bring color to his life. Despite her being perfect, Joji finds himself wishing for his past lover. He questions why he feels this way and acknowledges that just because something or someone is considered perfect, it doesn't necessarily mean it works.


Throughout the song, Joji shares his struggle in trying to move on from his past lover. He tries to convince himself that he's fine and that he's moved on, but in reality, he's still stuck in the past. He hopes to have a glimpse of what he once had with his past lover, even if it's just for a moment. He even muses about the possibility of his past lover leaving her current partner and returning to him.


The lyrics of "Glimpse of Us" highlight the complexity of human emotions and relationships. Sometimes, even when we have everything we need, we still long for something else. The song delves into the idea that just because something or someone is perfect on paper, it doesn't mean it's the right fit for us. People are multi-dimensional and sometimes the intangible qualities in a relationship hold greater weight than the tangible ones.


Line by Line Meaning

She'd take the world off my shoulders If it was ever hard to move
She used to help me navigate through difficult times with ease


She'd turn the rain to a rainbow When I was living in the blue
She could bring so much joy to my life even during tough times


Why then, if she is so perfect Do I still wish that it was you?
Even though she is great, I still miss you and what we had together


Perfect don't mean that it's working So what can I do? (Ooh)
Just because someone is perfect, doesn't mean the relationship will work out


When you're out of sight In my mind
Even though you're not here, I still think about you all the time


'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes And that's where I find a glimpse of us And I try to fall for her touch But I'm thinking of the way it was Said I'm fine and said I moved on I'm only here passing time in her arms Hoping I'll find A glimpse of us
Even though I'm trying to move on with someone else, I still see you in her eyes and long for what we had. I may say I'm fine and moved on, but deep down I'm still holding onto hope that we can have that 'us' again.


Tell me he savors your glory Does he laugh the way I did? Is this a part of your story? One that I had never lived Maybe one day you'll feel lonely And in his eyes, you'll get a glimpse Maybe you'll start slipping slowly And find me again
I wonder if he appreciates you the way I did, if he finds the same things funny, and if our story was something you cherished. Perhaps one day, you'll feel what I do now and see a piece of 'us' in his eyes, and we can find each other again


Ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh

@snowman_tofu8072

Had this friend before. His girlfriend broke up with him. We said, "hey, man. Can't say everything would be fine, but take your time to heal and move on." We gave him some friendly advises, we're looking out for the dude since he was really distraught about the whole break up. So we thought maybe it'll also help if we, his friends, also gave him a little space so he don't feel like we're forcing things on him.

Weeks passed, we were checking up on him, and he seemed to be getting better day by day. We're happy that he was getting happy at least. But then we learned that he already had another girlfriend. We didn't really expected that since we know the guy as someone far from being a lady's man. But there we are, meeting him and his new girlfriend. He introduced her to us and vice versa. She was great. She's very nice and bubbly. Quite talkative. But we all vibed with her just fine.

The thing is, the way our friend treats her. We all saw how he treated his ex. And when we saw how he and his new gf interacted, his behavior, his personality around her, it was alarmingly similar to how it was back then with his ex. We talked to him about it. He said he just couldn't help it. He felt like his world was falling apart and he wanted to feel the same feeling he felt with his ex. But he knew his ex won't come back anymore, so he sought it out from another person.

It was fucked up. Really. We understand where he was coming from, but it doesn't change the fact that it was still f‐ed up. His current gf knew none of it. And we saw how she loved our friend. It was literally like a bomb, unstable, threatening to explode. No one deserved to be treated in such a way. So we discussed, debated, argued with each other if we should do something. At the end, we don't really have the right to interfere, so we just made the guy swear that he'd stop treating his gf like with how he did with his ex or just break the relationship.

We weren't sure if we did the right thing. But what we're sure about is that no one deserves to be a replacement or a replica of the past. Esp when this person sees the future with you.



@muhammadshidqi4916

I am currently on the same position of your friend. I've been with a girl for a whole 3 years, my WHOLE highschool life and broke up after that. And 1 month later i've found another one. Yes. I treated her as if she's my ex, i sang her songs and read her poems that once i gave to my ex.

At surface level it might seem fucked up but it is just a way some people forget abouth the past. That is to cherish it.

My ex was my first 'real' girlfriend and my concept of "love" was taught by my experiences with her. I was still in teenage years so it was so damn deeprooted in my mindset. I cannot love other people without using the "love" i learned from my experience.

The important thing is that how my gf loves the way i treat her. 2 years have passed and while i cannot say for sure that i've forgot glimpses of my past, i sure have treated my new soulmate as how she deserves to be treated.

For your friend, let him be. Just tell him that dont he dare hurt her or abandon her after he "moved on". I did tell myself to NEVER abandon my current gf, because she's been with me for years, dark years. And she is the last person i will abandon beside my parents.

She'd take the world off my shoulders if it was ever hard to move She'd turn to a rainbow When i was livin' in the blue
why then,if shes so perfect Do i still wish that it was you?
Perfect dont mean that it's workin So what can i do?
When you're out of sight in my mind
Cause sometimes i look in her eyes and that's where i find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch But im thinkin' of my way it was
Said, "Im fine" and said, "I moved on" i'm only here passin' time in her arms hopin' I'll find a glimpse of us
Tell me he savors your glory Does he laugh the way i did? Is this a part of your story? one that i had never lived
