Summer time in that old sand box
filthy rich, when my jewels were rocks
no holes in my soul, just my socks
kickball kickin' with goldilocks
that's why they call 'em the good ole days
making up rules to the games we played
too d-mn young to appreciate we already had it made

if I knew then, what I know right now
I would've stayed on the playground
I left my heart in the lost and found
I should've stayed on the playground
should've stayed, should've stayed
should've stayed, should've stayed on the playground
should've stayed, should've stayed
should've stayed, should've stayed on the playground



flyin' high on the tire swing, head back livin' in luxury
in the cul de sac, I was the king
with the four square championship ring
that's why they call e'm the good ole days
taking on the world cause we weren't afraid
jumping off rooftops in our skates
cause we didn't know we could break

if I knew then, what I know right now
I would've stayed on the playground
I left my heart in the lost and found
I should've stayed on the playground
should've stayed, should've stayed
should've stayed, should've stayed on the playground
should've stayed, should've stayed
should've stayed, should've stayed on the playground



remember when we were punk -ss kids
didn't know enough to give a sh-t
and we can't get back our innocence
but for now let's reminisce

if I knew then, what I know right now
I would've stayed on the playground
I left my heart in the lost and found
I should've stayed on the playground
should've stayed, should've stayed
should've stayed, should've stayed on the playground
should've stayed, should've stayed
should've stayed, should've stayed on the playground

we don't wanna grow

if I knew then, what I know right now
I would've stayed on the playground
I left my heart in the lost and found
I should've stayed on the playground
