Wish I Stayed

Why can't we speak another language One we all agree on When men look outside, 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 Endeavor to free fall? You can fall if you want to! It's just a matter of how far You've treasured our hometown, But you've forgotten where you are And it will stay with you until your 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 Patterns all arranged in my background Pillars and posts keeping this country on form Letters were all sent With no addresses so that people can't discover That we're always under cover Why do I always draw triangles? Instead of words this paper deserves 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 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 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 You can fall if you want to! It's just a matter of how far You've treasured our hometown, But you've forgotten where you are And it will stay with you until your 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
