How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Answer

Jake Bugg talked about this song in a video track-by-track: “That was a strange song because life in general you come across a lot of barriers and sometimes you just want to push through things and just try to find an answer for everything, try in every way, but in the end it’s not that simple.
