It was five past the hour When you said your train was due But in the spirit of the evening I arrived on fifty-two I was going through my inbox On a regular basis And occasionally scanning Through all the rush-hour faces
I wandered down the platform But I could not see a sign I looked at the clock And it was only fifty-nine Just you and me together That's the way it needs to be I'm standing here, waiting for you On Platform 23
[CHORUS] It feels like time is slowing down For our secret rendezvous in town As anticipation beckons I start counting down the seconds My heart beats fast but the clock ticks slowly You could be my one and only As anticipation beckons I've felt the thrill of thirty seconds Felt the thrill of thirty seconds
It almost seems too perfect As you glide along the floor I looked for imperfections And loved everything I saw I'd never feld so scared Infatuated or excited I felt just like a school-boy And for some reason I liked it
I wandered down the platform But I could not see a sign I looked at the clock And it was only fifty-nine Just you and me together That's the way it's gonna be I'm standing here, waiting for you On Platform 23
[CHORUS]
And I could not seem to settle So I tried to make a call And then I suddenly remembered What you'd written on my wall It wasn't even special Just the fact that it was you And the fact that we were meeting Was just too good to be true
