Jake Bugg – Simple as This Lyrics

I've been in search of stones
Making up the pavement of less traveled roads
Mining for treasure deep in my bones
But it only brought me down

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
But it only taught me what I should not know
Oh, and the answer, well, how could I miss
Something as simple as this?
Something as simple as this

Traveled to each ocean's end
Saw all the seven wonders
Tryna make some sense
Memorized the mantra Confucius said
It only brought me down

Tried absolution of the mind and soul
But it only taught 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, how could I miss
Something as simple as this?
God knows how I could have missed
Something as simple as this

Thank you
Well, then, go on, let's pick another song, come on
Saffron?
