Time is the Playground

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 Secondhand, swept away Secondhand, swept away Secondhand Time is the playground Time is the playground Time is the playground Time is the playground Time is the playground Time is the playground Time is the playground Time is the playground Time is the playground
