Verse 1 
Pieces on a board,
We play to win,
But you’re the queen and I’m a pawn, ‘
You may begin.’ 

Verse 2 
I’m moved first,
While you’re protected 
From the battle and curse 
Of Time’s ticking. 

Pre Chorus 
Fast as an arrow 
Out of the shadows 
And out of the blue I try to catch you 

Chorus 
Time used to move so slowly,
So all those days I’d waste away.
But then it smiled and crept up on me, 
And now I’ve got dues to pay. 
No one helped me, no one told me, 
Bout the rules of game.
But people lie and people cheat, 
And now I’ve got dues to pay. 

Verse 3 
Yeah it’s unfair,
Cause we’re the same
Yet you’ve got way more time to spare 
Unnumbered days. 

Pre Chorus 
Fast as an arrow 
Out of the shadows 
And out of the blue 
I try to catch you 

Chorus 
Time used to move so slowly,
So all those days I’d waste away.
But then it smiled and crept up on me, 
And now I’ve got dues to pay. 
No one helped me, no one told me, 
Bout the rules of game.
But people lie and people cheat, 
And now I’ve got dues to pay. 

Bridge 
So wake up,
See the chains around your ankles 
Paralyzed and stuck,
No escaping. 
A cycle,
With Time right on your heels It’s vital,
Not to feel. 

Pre Chorus 
Fast as an arrow 
Out of the shadows 
And out of the blue 
I try to catch you 

Chorus 
Time used to move so slowly,
So all those days I’d waste away.
But then it smiled and crept up on me, 
And now I’ve got dues to pay. 
No one helped me, no one told me, 
Bout the rules of game.
But people lie and people cheat, 
And now I’ve got dues to pay. 
I’ve got dues to pay. 
I’ve got dues to pay.
