I caught the train at the station

Platform 5 destination

I was leaving town

Going somewhere I don't know

We all need some time to think things out

8:35 and I was late

It isn't easy to escape

From your life

But when you start to see the signs

You must make the break before it's too late

I was playing, I was playing for

I was playing, I was playing for

I was playing for, I was playing for time

All I wanted was a little space

I had to get out, out of this race

And find my way

Take a look to observe

Situations look so different from afar

There comes a point when you can't take no more

There comes a point when you're no longer sure

You can't decide

So take that ticket, that ticket to ride

When in your heart you know that time is on your side

I was playing, I was playing for

I was playing, I was playing for

I was playing for, I was playing for time

I was playing for time

I was playing for time

Ooh-ooh, I was playing for time

Ooh-ooh, I was playing for time

Ooh-ooh, I was playing for time
