playground

Do you remember the slide where you and I would hang upside down?

Skipping town, to get away from our parents alcohol breath?

Stealing money from their wallet just to go to the park and drown ourselves in Metallica.

Remember the time we snuck out around 9 to go smoke, complain about life?

That’s how we coped and knew that it was gonna be alright

Throwing stones in the pond was our favorite way to bond

Now that they burned that playground down to the ground

I can remember our sounds of us running away from our biggest fears

But holding you near, kept me crystal clear (mhm mhm)

The ashes of what used to be resemble you and me

Remember our freshly canned coke, your stupid jokes?

Kissing under the monkey bars, staring up at the fetching stars?

Hanging upside down on that slide, you and i?

Drinking liquor till the streetlights came on (what fun)

Selling your dad’s old coins to the pawn (lol)

Throwing up on your lawn?

Now that they burned that playground down to the ground

I can remember our sounds of us running away from our biggest fears

But holding you near, kept me crystal clear (mhm mhm)

The ashes of what used to be resemble you and me

You’re falling away from my grip, i’m a lonely sailor on this ship

Now that they burned that playground down to the ground

I can remember our sounds of us running away from our biggest fears

But holding you near, kept me crystal clear (mhm mhm)

The ashes of what used to be resemble you and me
