Glimpse
VACATIONER Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got a glimpse.
Ironed out the grooves that comes with
A slight-eyed wince
The sight always revives the senses.
Lift up high again,
Dreaming on the roof of my head.
It's not who, it's when.
The someone who my thoughts went off with, often.

It's all in my view.
Lonely, have trouble hanging on.
Seeing not close again
is all
needed ever so often.

Here it comes, it's comin' again.
This little glimpse is all you got.
When it's going, it's going away.
This little glimpse is all you got.
Here it comes, it's comin' in waves.
This little glimpse is all you got.
And it's gone, and it's gone away.
This little glimpse is all you got to know.

Savoring the warmth that comes with
Looking out ahead.
Steady on your side,
The last glimpse.
Left up high again.
Reach you in the clouds of my hair.
It's not who, it's when.
I'm holding on to the room I've held in
Moments.

That light I know,
Where'd it go?
Leaving ever so often.

Here it comes, it's comin' again.
This little glimpse is all you got.
When it's going, it's going away.
This little glimpse is all you got.
Here it comes, it's comin' in waves.
This little glimpse is all you got.
And it's gone, then it's gone away.
This little glimpse is all you got to know.





This little glimpse is all you got...
This little glimpse is all you got... to know.
