[Verse 1]
I've been in search of stones
Making up the pavement of less-travelled roads
Mining for treasure deep in my bones
That I never find
Went looking for reverence
Tried to find it in a bottle
And came back again
High on a hash pipe of good intent
But it only brought me down
[Chorus]
Tried institutions of the mind and soul
It only taught me what I should not know
Oh and the answer well who would have guessed
Could be something as simple as this
Something as simple as this
[Verse 2]
Travelled to each ocean's end
Saw all seven wonders, trying to make some sense
Memorized the mantra Confucius said
But it only let me down
[Chorus]
Tried absolution of the mind and soul
It only led me where I should not go
Oh and the answer well how could I miss
Something as simple as this
Something as simple as this
I've been falling, crashing, breaking
All the while you were stood here waiting
For me girl
[Chorus]
Tried institutions of the mind and soul
It only taught me what I should not know
Oh and the answer well who would have guessed
Could be something as simple as this
Something as simple as this
