Sky Ferreira- Wish I Stayed (WITH LYRICS)

Beautiful and kinda sad song sung by Sky Ferreira. I like Sky's version of this song more than the others. That's my opinion.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Lyrics of the original 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, endeavor to freefal

You can fall if you want to It's just a matter of how far
You've treasured our 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 skippy rope, the trampoline
The crafty smoke that made us choke
But we didn't give up hope
It's just the simple ways, of getting paid
The carelessnes of running away
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed

Patterns all aranged 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
Always undercover
Why do i always draw triangles
Instead of words this paper so deserves

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.

With that skippy rope, the trampoline
The crafty smoke that made us choke
But we didn't give up hope
It's just the simple ways, of getting paid
The carelessnes of running away
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed

Çause you can fall if you want to
It's just a matter of how far
You've treasured our 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
It's just the simple ways, of getting paid
The carelessnes of running away
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed

I think she fucked this song up, certain songs should not be touched. I have only heard 1 good cover of this but only ellie can do it justice.

[RainbowBottle]

@clareisphit I don't like ellie's version. The electro screwed her voice up, the echo's are out of place. It sounds like a chaotic mess, I prefer Sky's version. She sings with more emotion without being too dramatic.

[clareisphit]

@RainbowBottle Totally disagree, the emotion of the original absolutley overpowers this one and makes it seem poor, which is a sad thing because it is such a beautiful song. Ellie's range is amazing so it works for both electo and acoustic (which i prefer, you should check it out) and with Sky's limited voice it makes this quite boring. Thats my opinion, but you are entitled to yours :)

[RainbowBottle]

@clareisphit I checked her acoustic version, which was really different. her pronunciation of fall is lovely, but I think Sky's voice is just captivating. I don't like the way Ellie sings, (no offense, she's got a nice voice) it's just that she's constantly gasping for air and swallowing letters. Guess we cant agree on everything

[meekadai]

I love this version way better than the original too.. Sky is an Amazing singer.

[RainbowBottle]

@meekadai Can't agree more.

[TheCircusShadow]

I prefer Sky's version.

[sjcatman1]

Sky sings this song beautiful and so does ellie .>>>they both sing the song different!!!! Ilike Skys voice better!!!!

[jake27990]

Her vocals are almost identical. Not very original but there you go :\ Don't think this girl will mkae it to be honest. She seems kinda amateur

[TheVampireVioletta]

I like this one better than ellies!

[RitaPortugirl]

I'm a really big fan of Ellie, but Sky did a great cover :)

[DorraDakhli]

Ellie Goulding's version is better ;)

[xxBrandNewRiotxx]

I love love love the original & this is good too

[ciao7371]

I saw Ellie in concert this past March and just love her!! Her voice is so hard to replicate, nothing really compares to the original song, sorry sky although I like skys' voice this particular rendition does not work for me but evr1 has their opinion respectfully so that's what makes the world turn!!!
