Simple As This

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