lyrics

Years have gone by like a snap of the finger
Though her feelings may have changed, mine only linger
Just to get a glimpse of her

You should have caught us, we were really quite a pair
I called it the ultimate, she just called it an affair
Just to get a glimpse of her

I wonder if she wonders if I'm even still alive
She knew I had a hurting heart the second she said goodbye
Just to get a glimpse of her

Seduction is a funny game and I'll master it somehow
But I'm running out of precious time and I need it now
I wonder what time has done to her face

How much of me the intervening years and new gentlemen have erased
Just to get a glimpse of her
At the end of the day, you know you've had it rough

If you have to stop and think too hard
Hey, have I ever really been in love
There was a time when even the most mundane was magic

You were mine and life was all apostrophed
But it's fine, the script turned tragic
They take away your sidekick and they leave you here to bleed

When we first met I was in the belly of this beast
But my future is gonna rise just as soon as I add the yeast
Just to get a glimpse of her

I still believe in loves redemptive power
If I didn't, I swear to god that I'd be gone within the hour
Just to get a glimpse of her

I tried to mask it, I tried to hide it
When addiction came along I thought I'd hop aboard and ride it
Just to get a glimpse of her

In this game of solitaire I still have a place to strive
We all know that love's the pain that makes your life alive

about

Marq DeSouza Vancouver, British Columbia

-A very personal rock album. He also writes from a very moral perspective, which gives his record a strong POV. These songs are not filled with empty thoughts but actually try to say something. (Vancouver Province)

-Inspiration drips from every distorted and bent guitar note, down-but-not-out vocal phrasing, and sneered lyric. (Georgia Straight) ... more
