Playgrounds and City Parks Lyrics

In playgrounds and city parks
We played around 'til it went dark
In every breath another spark was dying
At bus stops we stood in lines
Like full stops at the end of time
Our teardrops don't ever dry for crying
La la la la la la la la
Light up my life
All my days
All my nights
Light up my lonely life...
I knew I'd never leave the street
I love the taste of self-defeat
You never win, and you can't beat what's broken
If you don't play, then you don't lose
You either pray or have to choose
The words to say or leave the words unspoken
La la la la la la la la
Light up my life
All my days
All my nights
Light up my lonely life...
Light up my lonely
In sight again
And suffering
All your dreams have ended
Light up my life
All my days
All my nights
Light up my lonely life...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
