yes i saw you at the station
long distances miles
you were leaving for the weekend
catching the 4:55
with the new friend for the season
another sad-eyed clown
hoping to see that your
fantasies go down
and i have to wonder to myself
why you have to go so far
drift with lies and daydreams
trying to play the star
i still remember when you said
baby now let's get away
and i followed you like a schoolboy
i guess that's part of the game

now you call me say you're sorry
giving me long distance love
you say you'd like to see me
maybe just for a while
and you'd meet me at the station
there on platform 9
and we'd leave for the weekend
riding for 4:55
but i've played this scene too many times
to ever feel the part again
i don't really want to fake it
i already know the end so bye-bye cin-cinderella
everything just has to change
and the midnight blues are calling
i guess that's part of the game
