Simple as This Lyrics by Jake Bugg

Jake Bugg (10th Anniversary Edition)

2012

[Verse 1]
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 found
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
I've been falling, crashing, breaking
All the while you were stood here waiting
For me, girl

[Chorus]
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
