Glimpse of Us Lyrics - Song by Joji

Glimpse of Us Lyrics - Song by Joji

[Verse 1]

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's so perfect

Do I still wish that it was you?

Perfect don't mean that it's workin'

So what can I do? (Ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]

When you're out of sight

In my mind

[Chorus]

'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 thinkin' of the way it was

Said I'm fine and said I moved on

I'm only here passing time in her arms

Hopin' I'll find a glimpse of us

[Verse 2]

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 slippin' slowly and find me again

[Pre-Chorus]

When you're out of sight

In my mind

[Chorus]

'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 thinkin' of the way it was

Said I'm fine and said I moved on

I'm only here passing time in her arms

Hopin' I'll find a glimpse of us

[Bridge]

Ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

[Chorus]

'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 thinkin' of the way it was

Said I'm fine and said I moved on

I'm only here passing time in her arms

Hopin' I'll find a glimpse of us
