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
