Soundtracks - Simple As This - JAKE BUGG lyrics

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 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 Travelled to each ocean's end Saw all seven wonders, trying to make some sense Memorised 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 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.
