Ellie Goulding - Wish I Stayed ( Acoustic ) Video HD + Lyrics

Ok, Ok, I know you've been thinking it
I've been thinking it.
I'm quite certain the four inactive girls aloud members are thinking it?
by jove, what ARE the lyrics to Ellie Goulding's dance-thwomp "Wish I Stayed"
well, I've been trying to work it out, so this is what I've come up with.
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)
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
A 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
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
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
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
A 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
Can 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
A 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

She is the true definition of an artist. A thousand times better acoustic.

[@singer0004]

Not saying I don't like her electronic songs, but I wish she would put out more acoustic music like this.

[@TheNIX001]

an acoustic only ablum would be so nice .

[@Realunmaker]

on this same vein I'd love if she made accoustic b-sides to her albums every time she gets out new ones.

[@destinyemm]

i LOVE the way her accent sounds in her music. I seriously don't understand why people are hating on her voice. it's perfect.

[@ciaradell9520]

I can't believe I met her tonight. I'm still in awe. I absolutely adore her, oh my goodness.

[@tpetie0713]

I've always loved Ellie Goulding even before she came to America... Im really happy she didn't lose who she is and she's still angelic

[@ICJLXI]

She is the best singer on the planet, period.

[@rocksta90]

i'm just glad that we got such a beautiful voice on our planet.

[@hellomnm]

saw her on the beats commercial, looked her up on youtube, listened to her music, and instantly fell in love. shes absolutely brilliant.

[@elfmatw]

She is so pretty and so is her voice. I love these acoustic versions and I'm usually not much for this kind of music.

[@Afro2929]

this girl is unbelivible... everytime i listen to this voice i m speakless

[@junppu]

She's got such an interesting voice and such control over her vocal chords, it's amazing. I love ig

[@monique20115]

I really miss this ellie before she met skrillex :( her unrelessed tracks are also very good acoustics wise and her voice is amazing. I'm just lucky that someone I know looks just like her with brown hair and has the same name and voice :) xxxxx I miss the old ellie goulding xxxx

[@DrownedOutAllMySense]

Same💔💔💔

[@MichaelMorrison]

Really dig this song.

[@ganjakings]

love how her voice jumps around like that!!

[@terez1008]

I love the acustic versions so much! I don´t know, they are just so deeper than the album ones.

[@trishamainex]

her voice is so mesmerizing.

[@onzoV]

Her Voice Is Just Magic..

[@julienolan5695]

This is becoming my fave Goulding.

[@DSepshunNBR]

Her vocals give me the chills.. Such a dope performance

[@singer0004]

This is what first introduced me to Ellie Goulding and this was before she released her album and became super famous

[@ganjakings]

love how her voice jump around like that!!

[@671chamorupride]

She looks sooo cute with her hair up ... She always looks super beautiful.. But for some reason i find her really attractive with her hair up(:

[@jacklynundead4880]

this is probably going to be stupid.. but. this is the first time in a year since I could actually listen to this song .-. or even see this video. My cat, Riley used to lay with me and we'd listen to this song for hours. The she passed away and it killed me .-.

[@SuperPrettyPink101]

That's not stupid, it's beautiful, in a very sad way.

[@WinkleProductions1]

i totally love this song.and yes she is beautiful.and very talented cause its in her heart.not like most of them out there.

[@tyriccarr6667]

I love this Ellie!!!!!

[@Meatloof67]

Your best Musik. I do not know why People have to Change for success.

[@DrownedOutAllMySense]

I know right! I used to be her biggest fan but now I just listen to her old stuff with the biggest sense of nostalgia.

[@WarrDog]

how do you not love this song!?

[@azurestx]

Finally a person who can sing without techno stuff

[@ExDivaDixi]

I love her voice!!!!!!!

[@medylein]

No words. She's awesome!

[@FeroHim]

You can interpret songs the way you want to, push your own meaning into a song, saying it speaks of whatever you want it to. That's a beautiful thing about music, the same song can mean different things to different people. Just remember that what you read between the lines has been written by you and you alone.

[@tonydarkelf6463]

I love how you can feel the emotions when she sings , she's truly amazing!

[@MsSussanne]

I would buy her CD, if all songs were like that; really slow and with magic atmosphere. Btw. I love the way how she sings.

[@Hayley1518]

Love her style of music! Beautiful voice, yes, she sounds better live:D

[@tonycurry]

ellie is amazing

[@judithbarraza4344]

[@EuanW17]

I listen to death metal...and yet this is amazing? I give up.

[@kramsniggah4333]

Right on the money!!!

[@Hayley1518]

[@SepyaKolik]

[@BotanicalBlooming]

Hey, I‘m the uploader of these videos, it’s my old channel and by that time I was 14 Years old. I‘m German and my English was kind of bad back then. So if you are passing by please don’t bother about the description. I can’t log into that account!

[@Mr3wbc]

[@TheEkaShow]

[@mateocarlos4117]

With that skipping rope, a trampoline, that craft smoke, but we didnt give up hope. Its the simple ways of getting paid, the carelessness of running away i wish i stayed.

[@Urswifty2012]

Shes actually said that this song is about her regretting leaving her hometown, Hereford. She missed life before she was famous. Tragic.

[@MunneyMerking]

[@lb4ktX]

[@born2bmp3]

Beautyful Voice und Face! :)

[@SAARsupersonicc]

she is so much better acoustic!

[@citenz]

she says "they've made us choke, but we didn't give up hope" :)

[@fieldsaturnglow]

isn't it : the carelessness of running away :o ?

[@phine153]

The capo hops on and off. Its magic! :D i guess its an editing fault and therefore a mixup with the roscoe vid.

[@SuperAndrew411]

the thumbnail made it look like she had a moustache, still attractive though

[@BroAshley]

3:30 OMG

[@mateocarlos4117]

The crafty smoke that made us choke but we didnt give up hope*

[@Hayley1518]

@amaraonly this is the music of the present:D hahaha

[@tehpillemannerator]

Such a pure voice, sad that the electric BS took over

[@Mrleusink]

If only she sang closer to the mic then I could listen to it so much louder..

[@czaarna95]

voice like maria mena ; o

[@tagchristopher]

I love this song but dam! can i pretty fuckin please get it on itunes or something in the US! PLEASE! :D

[@Lillybellscute]

Check out Ellies new songs Human Animal Your song(ect) And they are all from Bright lights by eEllie

[@TheSuburbiaRuins]

It's never on, it's just not on the head all of the time. It was just recorded like that.

[@sfkjbg]

I'm pretty sure she says running away instead of lieing awake/.

[@NatNatNatLynchhh]

letters were all sent with no addresses so that people can't scuffer its meant to be 'people can't discover' :)

[@Kikeldiki]

did she had a lip piercing? great performance!

[@6618594]

This song is so deep... she's talking about the illuminati :p

[@October.Industries]

The capo is on and off in this it drives me crazy. it shows it off and then on the first fret and then at one point it looks like it's on the 5th or something.

[@davekauai025]

Why you no put on iTunes!? :(

[@JohannesBoivin]

let me marry her *_*

[@NotCommanderShepard]

Am I the only one who thinks she resembles Michael Schumacher?

[@Discuzzz]

sorry to tell, but some bits are wrong in the lyrics. such as..."crafty smoke that made us choke", "of getting pain", etc. x

[@nyreewaters]

@malouny hahahahaha you made me laugh so much then :D (I know what you mean though lol)
