Wish I Stayed

Why can't we speak another language, one we all agree on? Why when men look outside do they see houses Instead of the fields they grew from? We are constantly uprooted from them, making us tiresome and fearful Can you get up right now, endeavour to free-fall 'Cause you can fall if you want to It's just a matter of how far You treasured our home town You've forgotten where you are And it will stay with you until your mind's been found And it has been found wandering around With that skipping rope, the trampoline The crafty smoke that made us choke But we didn't give up hope It's the simple ways of getting paid The carelessness of running away And I wish I stayed I wish I stayed I wish I stayed Patterns all arranged in my background These pillars and posts keeping this country on form Letters were all sent with no addresses So that people can't discover We're always undercover Why do I always draw triangles Instead of words this paper so deserves? 'Cause you see I don't own my clothes, but I own my mind And it's not what you've lost But it's what you find You found that skipping rope, the trampoline The crafty smoke that made us choke But we didn't give up hope It's the simple ways of getting paid The carelessness of running away And I wish I stayed I wish I stayed I wish I stayed 'Cause you can fall if you want to It's just a matter of how far You've treasured our home town You've forgotten where you are And it will stay with you until your mind's been found And it has been found wandering around With that skipping rope, the trampoline The crafty smoke that made us choke But we didn't give up hope It's the simple ways of getting paid The carelessness of running away And I wish I stayed I wish I stayed I wish I stayed I wish I stayed I wish I stayed
