About This Track

'Playground' by flipturn is a 2022 alternative track from the album 'Shadowglow'. The lyrics weigh up restlessness and romantic uncertainty, with the speaker urging someone to “take it in, don't take it slow” while insisting that yesterday’s love is out of reach. Pride and delay sit alongside claims about what someone has seen, as a relationship plays out through anticipation, stubbornness, and a refusal to commit.

Lyrics

Playground

All you know
Is that you got miles to go
Take it in, don't take it slow
For nothing

Well yesterday
Love was in another state
If you could, you'd make her wait
But your baby waits
For nothing

You've never changed your mind
You've got too much pride
Someone said they saw you
And you were driving high
But you don't care
You ain't got health care
And it ain't fair, but it's alright

Honestly, it's alright if you
Can't be free
Better off with company
Than nothing

You've never changed your mind
You've got too much pride
Someone said they saw you
And you were driving high
But you don't care
You ain't got health care
And it ain't fair, but it's alright

And it's alright
It's alright
