[Verse]

I've been sleeping on the floor

I want everything and more

But I still wake up

Back shaped like a skateboard

I've been working 'round the clock

Still, the second hand won't stop

Any minute now

I'll slide back to the ground


[Pre-Chorus]

But the pain won't go away

Spotlights in my eyes, can't see a thing

I miss the sand and the silly games

'Cause in the playground, nobody

Knows your name, your name


[Chorus]

I get up, come strike a ten

It's time again, it's time again

I get up, let's play again

It's time again, that time again

Knows your name, your name

Don't you wanna stay?

Take another ticket to yestеrday

I get up, come strike a tеn

It's time again, it's time again

Knows your name, your name


[Verse]

I'm the kid who takes his hand

To every castle in the sand

Then begs his friends to build again

Start to get the feeling I could feel much better if I

Just stop sleeping on the floor

I've been wanting everything and more

Back then, you'd see me smile

If my swing lined up with another child


[Pre-Chorus]

But the pain won't go away

Spotlights in my eyes, can't see a thing

But in my mind, it's a darker place

'Cause in the playground, nobody

Knows your name, your name


[Chorus]

I get up, come strike a ten

It's time again, it's time again

I get up, let's play again

It's time again, that time again

Knows your name, your name

Don't you wanna stay?

Take another ticket to yesterday

I get up, come strike a ten

It's time again, it's time again

Knows your name, your name


[Outro]

Knows your name, your name
