Ellie Goulding - Wish I Stayed lyrics

rate me

Why can't we speak another language, one we all agree on<br />

When when men look outside, do they see houses<br />

Instead of the fields they grew from<br />

We are Constantly uprooted from them, making us tiresome and fearful<br />

Can you get up right now, endeavor to freefall (Off)<br />

<br />

You can fall if you want to It's just a matter of how far<br />

You've treasured our home town<br />

But you've forgotten where you are<br />

And it will stay with you until you're mind's been found<br />

And it has been found wondering around<br />

<br />

With that skipping rope, the trampoline<br />

The crafty smoke that made us choke<br />

But we didn't give up hope<br />

It's just the simple ways, of getting paid<br />

The carelessnes of running away<br />

I wish I stayed<br />

I wish I stayed<br />

I wish I stayed<br />

<br />

Patterns all aranged in my background<br />

It's pillars and posts keeping this country on form<br />

Letters were all sent with no addresses<br />

So that people can't discover<br />

Always undercover<br />

Why do I always draw triangles<br />

Instead of words this paper so deserves<br />

<br />

You see<br />

I don't own my clothes but I own my mind<br />

And it's not what you've lost<br />

But it's what you find.<br />

I don't own my clothes but I own my mind<br />

And it's not what you've lost<br />

But it's what you find.<br />

<br />

With that skipping rope, the trampoline<br />

The crafty smoke that made us choke<br />

But we didn't give up hope<br />

It's just the simple ways, of getting paid<br />

The carelessnes of running away<br />

I wish I stayed<br />

I wish I stayed<br />

I wish I stayed<br />

<br />

Cos you can fall if you want to<br />

It's just a matter of how far<br />

You've treasured our home town<br />

But you've forgotten where you are<br />

And it will stay with you until you're mind's been found<br />

And it has been found wondering around<br />

<br />

With that skipping rope, the trampoline<br />

The crafty smoke that made us choke<br />

But we didn't give up hope<br />

It's just the simple ways, of getting paid<br />

The carelessnes of running away<br />

I wish I stayed<br />

I wish I stayed<br />

I wish I stayed
