Jake Bugg - Simple as this - commentary lyrics

I been in search of stones Making up the pavement Of less traveled roads Mining for treasure deep in my bones That I never found Went looking for reverence Tried to find it in a bottle Came back again High on a hash pipe of good intent But it only brought me down Tried institutions of the mind and soul It only taught me what I should not know Oh the answer well Who would have guessed Could be something as simple as this Something as simple as this? Traveled to each oceans end Saw all 7 wonders Trying to make some sense Memorized the mantra Confucius said But it only let me down 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 And all the while you were Stood here waiting For me girl Tried liberation of my own free will But it left me looking to get higher still Oh and the answer well Who would have guessed Could be something as simple as this? God knows how I could have missed Something as simple as this
