Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Diamonds in the night

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 your heart is my playground

Like your heart is my playground

Playground, playground

Playground, playground

Playground, playground

Playground, playground

Playground, playground

Like your heart is my playground

Like your heart is my playground

Like your heart is my playground

Playground, playground

Sirens ringing bright

They're taking us to another high

And our hearts are driven wild

You and I, both read the signs

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 your heart is my playground

Oh, like your heart is my playground

Playground, playground

Playground, playground

Playground, playground

Playground, playground

Like your heart is my playground

Like your heart is my playground

Oh, like your heart is my playground
