Lyrics

Play

[Chorus]

Outside of the window

Outside in the pouring rain

I just wanna play, play

I just wanna play, play

Outside of the window

Outside where I feel no pain

I just wanna play, play

I just wanna play, play

[Verse 1]

Ooh, and I love you, oh, I love you, yeah, yeah, yeah

Don't chase my butterflies

Ooh, I can feel you fly across my mind

I'm sinking, baby

I miss you, baby and I'd like to be by your side

I'd like to be by your side

I'd like to be by your

I'd like to be by your side

I'd like to be

[Chorus]

Outside of the window

Outside where I feel no shame

I just wanna play, play

I just wanna play, play (Ooh, yeah)

Outside where I hold you (Outside)

Outside where I can't be tamed

I just wanna play, play

I just wanna play, play

[Verse 2]

It's unfair if I don't get to see you while you're here

I'm scared that I won't ever get to have you near

The same way again, I'm missing my friend

It's cold in this bed without you in it

With me, it's what I get for wanting to be free

Lately, it feels like I'm not allowed to be

Happy at all without being wrong

I'm always at fault, I heard a song and cried, I cried

[Bridge]

(Play, play)

I'd like to be by your side (Play, play)

I'd like to be by your (Play, play)

I'd like to be by your side (Play, play)

[Outro]

I wanna play, I wanna play, I wanna play

I wanna play, I wanna play today

I wanna play, I wanna play, I wanna play

I wanna play, I wanna play today

I wanna play, I wanna play, I wanna play

I wanna play, I wanna play today
