Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shining on us, playing with the light
Bring out my inner child
Take me back to another time
Round and round, won't let my feet touch the ground, oh
I wanna swing from your love
Like your heart is my playground
I wanna slide into your arms, like you're heart is my playground
Playground, playground

Diamonds in the night
The stars are shining down on us
Shining on us, playing with the light
The stars are twinkling and creating beautiful patterns
Bring out my inner child
Makes me feel like I am young again
Take me back to another time
Reminds me of a time in the past when I felt free and happy
Round and round, won't let my feet touch the ground, oh
I feel like I am spinning and dancing with happiness
I wanna swing from your love
I want to experience the excitement and energy of being in love
Like your heart is my playground
I want to explore and enjoy the beauty of love with you
I wanna slide into your arms, like you're heart is my playground
I want to feel safe and secure in your love
Playground, playground
Love is like a playground, full of excitement and happiness
Sirens ringing bright
There is a sense of urgency in the air
They're taking us to another high
We are being swept up in the moment and feeling the excitement build
And our hearts are driven wild
We are both feeling intense emotions and energy
You and I, both read the signs
We understand each other and are on the same page
Oh, like your heart is my playground
Love is bringing us joy and amusement
Playground, playground
Love is playful and fun
Like your heart is my playground
Love is an adventure, and we are both excited to explore it together
