Playground
Sia/Musicfire.in Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come with me to a place of fantasy
I'll take you on a sea-saw
Come with me to a place that's by the sea
I'll take you on a board walk
Take my hand I'll take you to the sand
You and me will build a castle
Ready set go I'll race you to the wall
I will win I am the fastest

I don't wanna grow old
Bring me all the toys you can find
You don''t wanna grow up
You can be my partner in crime

I'll be sure to write you from the war
Put your guns away it''s tea time
Water bombs and tea towel tired mums
Looking for a little me time
Close your eyes and count to thirty five
You may never ever find me


Close my eyes and then I realize
You are never far behind me

I don't wanna grow old
Bring me all the toys you can find
You don't wanna grow up
You can be my partner in crime
I don't wanna grow old
Bring me all the toys you can find
You don't wanna grow up
You can be my partner in crime

Let's have fun, let's play out under the sun
Will you take me by the hand
Let's see how far we can run, yeah
Let's play chase let?s put make up on our face
You can catch me if you can
We can make a secret place





Meet me at the playground, come with me, fool around

The song emphasizes the singer's desire to stay young and playful, and not to grow old, as they want to relish every moment of being in this fantastic world. The singer's desire to remain young is supported by their willingness to engage in games like building sandcastles, running, playing with water bombs and a tea towel, and playing chase or putting makeup on their faces. It represents the innocence and carefreeness of childhood, and it is a reminder that we should never lose sight of our inner child.


Furthermore, the song is a call for companionship or a partner in crime to share in the fun and imagination. In the bridge, Sia sings "Close my eyes and then I realize, You are never far behind me," signifying that the singer's companion is always close to them, even when they close their eyes. The song underscores the importance of having a friend to share our joys and pains and the importance of being present in the moment.
