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 so fearful
Can you get up right now, endeavour to freefall

'Cos you can fall if you want to!
It's just a matter of how far
You've treasured our home town
But you've forgotten where you are
And it will stay with you 'til you're mind's been found
And it has been found wondering around

With that skipping rope, the trampoline
The crafty smoke that made us choke
But we didn't give up hope
It's just the simple ways, of getting paid
The carelessness of running away
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed

Patterns all arranged in my background
It's pillars and posts keeping this country on form
Letters were all sent with no addresses
So that people can't discover
Always undercover
Why do I always draw triangles?
Instead of words this paper so deserves

'Cos you see I don't own my clothes, but I own my mind
It's not what you've lost but it's what you find.

With that skipping rope, the trampoline
The crafty smoke that made us choke
But we didn't give up hope
It's just the simple ways, of getting paid
The carelessness of running away
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed

'Cos 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 'till you're mind's been found
And it has been found wondering around

With that skipping rope, the trampoline
The crafty smoke that made us choke
But we didn't give up hope
It's just the simple ways, of getting paid
The carelessness of running away the only
Wish I stayed

I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed
