Wish I Stayed - Ellie Goulding

Why can’t we speak another language, one we all agree on When 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 freefall (Off)

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 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 carelessnes of running away

I wish I stayed

I wish I stayed

I wish I stayed

Patterns all aranged 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

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.

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 carelessnes 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

But you’ve forgotten where you are

And it will stay with you until 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 carelessnes of running away

I wish I stayed

I wish I stayed

I wish I stayed
