Wish I Stayed - Acoustic (formerly known as Demo Version)

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?
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
Yeah, it's the simple ways of getting paid
The carelessness of running away
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
That we are 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

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
Yeah, it's the simple ways of getting paid
The carelessness of running away
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 hometown
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
Yeah, 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
Oh, wish I stayed
