[Verse 1]
Sand in my shoes
Sun on a Saturday
We’re digging to the center
Like we might escape
Little plastic shovels
Big wild plans
You say
“Let’s make craters
As many as we can”
[Chorus]
Craters in the playground
Jumping mile high
Landing in the footprints that we left behind
Spin around
Fall down
Laughing on our backs
Craters in the playground
Never filling that
Craters in the playground
Echo when we shout
Every little crater says we figured it out
[Verse 2]
Snack breaks
Sticky fingers
You’ve got dirt on your face
You call each hole a planet
Give each one a name
We crown a king of nothing
On a broken swing throne
Whole wide universe
In this corner of our home
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[soft sax riff under vocals]
When the bell rings
When they call us in
Will our worlds stay
Where the sky’s this big?
You squeeze my hand
Say
“Look how far we got”
All these tiny craters
Proving we were here or not
[growling sax fill]
[Chorus]
