True
Lancaster Jamie Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So true
Funny how it seems
Always in time, but never in line for dreams
Head over heels, when toe to toe
This is the sound of my soul (This is the sound)

I bought a ticket to the world
But now I've come back again

Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
When I want the truth to be said

I know this much is true
I know this much is true

With a thrill in my head and a pill on my tongue
Dissolve the nerves that have just begun
Listening to Marvin all night long
This is the sound of my soul (This is the sound)

Always slipping from my hands
Sand's a time of it's own
Take your seaside arms and write the next line
Oh, I want the truth to be known

I know this much is true
I know this much is true

I bought a ticket to the world
But now I've come back again
Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
When I want the truth to be said

I know this much is true
I know this much is true

I know this much is
I know this much is
True

I know this much is
I know this much is
True

I know this much is
I know this much is
True

I know this much is

I know this much is
True
