Time Is The Playground

Carbon Leaf

Run through the fields another holiday
Burning in the lungs but your mind escapes
One for the ages straight into the fire
Through the ashes of waiting you're outpacing desire

Buildings rise and shadows fall
Sundial time, clock's on the wall
You can't go back and start again
You just start again from wherever you end

Time is the playground
And the high-rise cityscape fades
As the conversation's winding down
As the engine vibrates
It threads me like a needle, love
It moves right through, and marches on
Make sure I'm worn before I fade
Secondhand, swept away

Run through the fields to get your love in on time
Another shadow is falling, and it might be mine
A bolt from the past as you're breaking away
Fire in the sky like someone's turning a page

Ashes, ashes everywhere
Come along with me
Don't stop to stare
We're rolling side by side with youth
An eternity left if we ignore the truth now

Time is the playground
And the high-rise cityscape fades
As the conversation's winding down
As the engine vibrates
It threads me like a needle, love
It moves right through, and marches on
Make sure I'm worn before I fade
Second hand, swept away

Cuckoo... Cuckoo... Cuckoo... Cuckoo...

Time is the playground
Time is the playground
Time is the playground
Time is the playground
