Wish I Stayed

[Verse 1]

Why can't we speak another language?

One we'll all agree on?

Why when men look outside, they see houses?

Instead of the field we move on

We are constantly uprooted from, making stars so fearful

Can't you get up right now, endeavor to free fall?

[Pre-Chorus]

You can fall if you want to

It's just a matter of how far

You've treasured your town

You've forgotten where you are

It will stay with you

Till your mind's been found

It has been found wandering around

[Chorus]

With our skipping rope and trampoline

The crafty smoke that made us choke

We can't give up

The simple ways of getting paid

The carelessness of running away

I wish I stayed

I wish I stayed

I wish I stayed, stayed

[Verse 2]

Patterns all arranged in my background

Posts keeping us in form

Letters wrote and sent with no addresses

So people can't discover

Why am i always trying to find something instead?

Speaking words you so deserve

I don't own my clothes, but I own my mind

It's not what you lost but it's what you find

I don't own my clothes, but I own my mind

It's not what you lost but it's what you find

[Chorus]

With our skipping rope and trampoline

The crafty smoke that made us choke

We can't give up

The simple ways of getting paid

The carelessness of running away

I wish I stayed

I wish I stayed

I wish I stayed, stayed

[Bridge]

You can fall if you want to

It's just a matter of how far

You've treasured your town

You've forgotten where you are

'Cause it will stay with you till your mind's been found

It has been found wandering around

[Chorus]

With our skipping rope and trampoline

The crafty smoke that made us choke

We can't give up

The simple ways of getting paid

The carelessness of running away

I wish I stayed

I wish I stayed

I wish I stayed, stayed
