Wish I Stayed Lyrics - Lights - Ellie Goulding

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, endeavor to free-fall 

'Cause you can fall if you want to 

It's just a matter of how far 

You treasured our home town 

But 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 lways 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 

But 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
