Wikipedia:
"Speculation that the song's lyrics are drug related has been largely dismissed. Lamm himself says that the title is "just a reference to the time of day" and that "the song is about writing a song. It's not mystical." The time of day in reference is 3:35 AM (or 3:34 AM), which would then be 25 (or 26) minutes to 4 AM."

25 or 624 were types of LSD. I didn't know this for years. Then it suddenly made sense.
But then again... Wikipedia

Irish - thanks! That makes the most sense and is a great story about the ways songs are written.
