Jake Bugg - Simple As This Lyrics
I've been in search of stonesMaking up the pavement of less-travelled roadsMining for treasure deep in my bonesThat I never findWent looking for reverenceTried to find it in a bottleAnd came back againHigh on a hash pipe of good intentBut it only brought me downTried institutions of the mind and soulIt only taught me what I should not knowOh and the answer well who would have guessedCould be something as simple as thisSomething as simple as thisTravelled to each ocean's endSaw all seven wonders, trying to make some senseMemorised the mantra Confucius saidBut it only let me down.Tried absolution of the mind and soulIt only led me where I should not goOh and the answer well how could I missSomething as simple as thisSomething as simple as thisI've been falling, crashing, breakingAll the while you were stood here waitingFor me girlTried liberation of my own free willBut it left me looking to get higher still.Oh and the answer well who would have guessedCould be something as simple as thisGod knows how I could have missedSomething as simple as this.
