Taste it
Bugg Jake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fill my eyes with the sky
Whole of my life I've been left behind but I've never felt more alive
High speed conversations
Speeding on down the line
Looked in your eyes said the saddest goodbye but I've never felt more alive
I can taste it
it's right there in your eyes of apple green
It should be easy but it's hard to leave
Went down in a fiery Zeppelin
You won't know if you don't try
Nothing but my shirt and I walked away hurt but I've never felt more alive
Talking on a bad connection
Think I might have fused a wire
Your on the other side as I've always sussed out but I've never felt more alive
I can taste it
In my mouth it's just so bittersweet
It's right there in your eyes of apple green
It should be easy but it's hard to leave
Yeah and this road between us
Man it's been a long hard drive
You pay for it in the morning when your best friend is denied
Flying all around never looking down no I've never felt more alive
Journeys going fast I hope it's gonna last 'cause I've never felt more alive, oh
I can taste it
In my mouth it's just so bittersweet
It's right there in your eyes of apple green
It should be easy but it's hard to leave

I just want to go back to 2013 when I spent all day listening to jake bugg while playing games after a long day of school.
I was so happy, and unaware of it.

I can relate about listening to jake bugg in past times. I miss his old music

I love this. It starts off all 50s country (GOOD country) and then the chorus melds into a bouncy, 21st century masterpiece. And he's only 18. I'm expecting big things from this guy, but for now this is brilliant!

In my youth it seemed that talent got you somewhere. You didn't have to go through all sorts of unnecessary publicity, image building, promotional packaging and other things which drowned the message of your music. This stuff really is a breath of fresh air.

This guy is just genius at such a young age. What a crackin tune. And the band are awesome, they should take some credit too... More Jake, just gives more tunes....

The problem with all these negative commentators is they don't appreciate real music from the 60's, 50's even 40's and 80's. They only enjoy modern turnes. Jake has an oldie style to his music only those who can appreciate the oldies can truly appreciate Jake. If he had come out around the same time the Beatles were popular, he'd be a legend right now.
