Wish I Stayed
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why can't we speak another language, one we all agree on?
Why when men look outside, do they see houses?
Instead of the field we'd move on
We are constantly uprooted from, making stars so fearful
Can't you get up right now, endeavor to freefall
You can fall if you want to it's just a matter of how far
You've treasured your 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 wandering around
With our skippy rope, the trampoline
The crafty smoke that made us choke
But we didn't give up hope
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
Posts keeping us in form
Letters were all 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've lost but it's what you find.
I don't own my clothes but i own my mind
It's not what you've lost but it's what you've find.
With our skippy rope, the trampoline
The crafty smoke that made us choke
But we didn't give up hope
The simple ways, of getting paid
The carelessness of running away
I wish i stayed
I wish i stayed
I wish i stayed
You can fall if you want to it's just a matter of how far
You've treasured your 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 wandering around
With our skippy rope, the trampoline
The crafty smoke that made us choke
But we didn't give up hope
The simple ways, of getting paid
The carelessness of running away
I wish i stayed
I wish i stayed
I wish i stayed
