Why can't we speak another language, one we all agree on?
|
Why and 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? Endeavour to free-fall.
|
|
'Cause 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 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 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,
|
It's pillars and posts keeping this country on form.
|
Letters were all sent with no addresses so that people can't discover.
|
We're always 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.
|
|
We 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,
|
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 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 wondering 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,
|
Now, I wish I stayed,
|
I wish I stayed,
|
I wish I stayed,
|
I wish I stayed,
|
I wish I stayed.
