Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Platform two for the Great Western Railway service to London Paddington.

Made it.

Yeah, thanks.

Just about.

Where are you off to?

London.

What for?

A job interview.

Good job you made the train then. Yeah.

Ye.

What if you'd missed it?

Sorry?

I mean like,

If you'd missed the train then,

Your future might be different.

Oh, uh.

I've never really thought about that.

Look, this is really random, um.

Are you free later?

Maybe we could go for a drink, or something?

Excuse me.

I think you forgot your lighter.

Oh, thank you.
