Why can't we speak another language, one we all agree on
Why when men look outside, 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 and endeavor to freefall
'Cause you can fall if you want to
It's just a matter of how far
You've treasured your hometown
You've forgotten where you are
And it will stay with you until your mind's been found
And it has been found wandering 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 but I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed
Patterns all arranged in my background
These pillars and forks 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 the 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
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, no, 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 hometown
You've forgotten where you are
And it will stay with you until your mind's been found
And it has been found wandering 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
I wish I stayed
