Why  Can't we speak another language
 one we all agree on
why  when men look outside do they see houses
 instead of fields they grew from
we  are constantly uprooted from them
 making us tiresome and fearful
can  you get up right now
 and endeavor freefall (off)
 Caus'you can fall if you  want to
 it's just  a matter of how far
 you've treasured  your home town
 you've forgotten  where you are
 and it will stay  with you
 til' your mind's  been found
 and it has  been found wondering around.
 Without a skipping  rope
 trampoline
A  Crafty smoke
 they've made a simpler way to give up
 it's the simple  ways
 of getting payed
 the carelessness  of lying awake
oh  i wish I stayed
I  wish I stayed
I  wish I stayed
Patterns  all arranged in my backround
 It's pillars and posts keeping  this country on form
letters  were all sent with no addresses
 so that people can't scuffer
always  undercover
why  do i always draw triangles instead of words
 it's paint  so it serves
 Cus 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'll find
 Without a skipping  rope
 trampoline
A  Crafty smoke
 they've made a simpler way to give up
 it's the simple  ways
 of getting payed
 the carelessness  of lying awake
oh  i wish I stayed
I  wish I stayed
I  wish I stayed
 Cus you can fall if you  want to
 It's just  a matter of how far
 You've treasured  your home town
 you've forgotten  where you are
 and it will stay  with you
 til' your mind's  been found
 and it has  been found
 wondering  around.
 Without a skipping  rope
 trampoline
A  crafty smoke
 they've made a simpler way to give up
 it's the simple  ways
 of getting  payed
 the carelessness  of lieing awake
I  wish I stayed
I  wish I stayed
I  wish I stayed
I  wish I stayed
I  wish I stayed
