Wish You'd Stayed
Why don't we sit back
And watch it burn
Why don't we sit back
And look at what we've earned
From good times to bad
We watched it unfold
And we were angered but silent
Which is how the flames were stoked
And I knew it'd come
But couldn't stay out of my own way
Now I'm laid out here prostrated
Hopin' to be saved
Now I'm not a godly man
No it's not to the divine that I pray
No It was to something right here in my arms
Only yesterday
God I wished you'd stayed
I wish you'd stayed
Wish you'd stayed
I wish you'd stayed
Now I'm not saying that things would've been perfect
Cause nothing in this life ever is
Nah i'm just saying it might've been better
Than whatever the hell you call this
Now i'd probably be less crazy
But I'm fucked up and hazy instead
Probably have perfect white teeth
But now they're falling from my head
I'd need to drink way less
To get my got-damned mind to go to bed
And when I did get to sleep
Maybe my mind wouldn't just send me back
Now I'm not saying that things would've been perfect
Cause nothing in this life ever is
Nah i'm just saying it might've been better
Than whatever the hell you call this
God I wish you'd stayed
I wish you'd stayed
Wish you'd stayed
Now I'm not saying that things would've been perfect
Cause nothing in this life ever is
Nah i'm just saying it might've been better
Than whatever the hell you call this
God I wish you'd stayed
And watch it burn
Why don't we sit back
And look at what we've earned
From good times to bad
We watched it unfold
And we were angered but silent
Which is how the flames were stoked
And I knew it'd come
But couldn't stay out of my own way
Now I'm laid out here prostrated
Hopin' to be saved
Now I'm not a godly man
No it's not to the divine that I pray
No It was to something right here in my arms
Only yesterday
God I wished you'd stayed
I wish you'd stayed
Wish you'd stayed
I wish you'd stayed
Now I'm not saying that things would've been perfect
Cause nothing in this life ever is
Nah i'm just saying it might've been better
Than whatever the hell you call this
Now i'd probably be less crazy
But I'm fucked up and hazy instead
Probably have perfect white teeth
But now they're falling from my head
I'd need to drink way less
To get my got-damned mind to go to bed
And when I did get to sleep
Maybe my mind wouldn't just send me back
Now I'm not saying that things would've been perfect
Cause nothing in this life ever is
Nah i'm just saying it might've been better
Than whatever the hell you call this
God I wish you'd stayed
I wish you'd stayed
Wish you'd stayed
Now I'm not saying that things would've been perfect
Cause nothing in this life ever is
Nah i'm just saying it might've been better
Than whatever the hell you call this
God I wish you'd stayed
