Taste it
Jake Bugg 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
