Jake Bugg - Simple As This

I've 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,
And came back again,
High on a hashpipe 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 oceans 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 of missed,
Something as simple as this.
