The Playground
I've been sleeping on the floor
I want everything and more
But I still wake up
Back shaped like a skateboard
I've been working 'round the clock
Still the second hand won't stop
Any minute now
I'll slide back to the ground
But the pain won't go away
Spotlights in my eyes
Can't see a thing
I miss the sand and the silly games
'Cause in the playground nobody knows your name, your name
(I get up)
(Come strike a ten)
(It's time again)
(It's time again)
(I get up)
(Let's play again)
(It's time again, that time again)
Knows your name, your name
(Don't you wanna stay?)
(Take another ticket to yesterday)
(I get up)
(Come strike a ten)
(It's time again, it's time again)
Knows your name, your name
I'm the kid who takes his hand
To every castle in the sand
And begs his friends to build again
Start to get the feeling I could feel much better
If I just stop sleeping on the floor
I've been wanting everything and more
Back then you'd see me smile
If my swing lined up with another child
But the pain won't go away
Spotlights in my eyes
Can't see a thing
But in my mind is a darker place
'Cause in the playground nobody knows your name, your name
(I get up)
(Come strike a ten)
(It's time again)
(It's time again)
(I get up)
(Let's play again)
(It's time again, that time again)
Knows your name, your name
(Don't you wanna stay?)
(Take another ticket to yesterday)
(I get up)
(Come strike a ten)
(It's time again, it's time again)
Knows your name, your name
Knows your name, your name
I want everything and more
But I still wake up
Back shaped like a skateboard
I've been working 'round the clock
Still the second hand won't stop
Any minute now
I'll slide back to the ground
But the pain won't go away
Spotlights in my eyes
Can't see a thing
I miss the sand and the silly games
'Cause in the playground nobody knows your name, your name
(I get up)
(Come strike a ten)
(It's time again)
(It's time again)
(I get up)
(Let's play again)
(It's time again, that time again)
Knows your name, your name
(Don't you wanna stay?)
(Take another ticket to yesterday)
(I get up)
(Come strike a ten)
(It's time again, it's time again)
Knows your name, your name
I'm the kid who takes his hand
To every castle in the sand
And begs his friends to build again
Start to get the feeling I could feel much better
If I just stop sleeping on the floor
I've been wanting everything and more
Back then you'd see me smile
If my swing lined up with another child
But the pain won't go away
Spotlights in my eyes
Can't see a thing
But in my mind is a darker place
'Cause in the playground nobody knows your name, your name
(I get up)
(Come strike a ten)
(It's time again)
(It's time again)
(I get up)
(Let's play again)
(It's time again, that time again)
Knows your name, your name
(Don't you wanna stay?)
(Take another ticket to yesterday)
(I get up)
(Come strike a ten)
(It's time again, it's time again)
Knows your name, your name
Knows your name, your name
