I used to wake up early crack a window and let the sun through
Then I would brush my teeth and eat them sweets that used to make my tongue blue
I was spending hours on the sofa till my eyes went red
My momma said that all that TV's gonna mess with your head
And now that I am older all I have to hold are memories
And I couldn't explain to you how much they mean to me
When we were young we didn't know that time was running away
Cause we were too busy with dreams
Hanging out in the streets till the end of the day
And there's not a thing I wouldn't give to see the life I used to live
We were kids on the playground
Take me back to the playground
I wanna go to the playground
Take me back to the playground
I used to go to church and hear the preacher talk for hours
And get in trouble with my friends pretending we had superpowers
Back when birthdays were the only ways we could measure time
Park [?] bikes late nights in the sunshine
Do you remember cartoons double dutch Grandma's secret recipes
And I couldn't explain to you how much they mean to me
When we were young we didn't know that time was running away
Cause we were too busy with dreams
Hanging out in the streets till the end of the day
And there's not a thing I wouldn't give to see the life I used to live
We were kids on the playground
Take me back to the playground
When we were young we didn't know that time was running away
Cause we were too busy with dreams
Hanging out in the streets till the end of the day
And there's not a thing I wouldn't give to see the life I used to live
We were kids on the playground
Take me back to the playground
I wanna go to the playground
Take me back to the playground
