Story Behind The Song
The song expresses an observational optimism as it expresses the catchy notion of "trying to turn the world into a playground"... a place where there is plenty of time to spend with the people you cherish. Fleeting lines of frustration give way to the chorus harmony which is as uplifting as it is unique and strong.

Lyrics
playground
check the clock and pull the drapes aside
to see what color skies above my better days
busy hanging out my thoughts to dry
cause I've been in the rain of my unconscious ways
trying to turn the world into a playground
with all my might
tables are turned and the ride is on the way round
hold on tight
turn my head again I'm changing lanes
passing through the time I can't afford to lose
just imagine all the things that we could do
if I could spend it on myself and you
waiting in line running my mind
I can't wait to get out again
counting the time thinking it's mine
anything to get out again
loaded up inside and open-eyed
believe in the horizon of a better place
busy hanging out my thoughts to dry
cause I've been in the rain of my unconsious ways
