Twenty Four Hours Lyrics

So is it permanent? Love's shattered pride
What once was innocence, turned on its side
A cloud hangs over me, marks every move
Deep in the memory of what once was love. Love

Oh, how I realised how I wanted time
Put into perspective, tried so hard to find
Just for one moment, I thought I'd found my way
Destiny unfolded, I watched it slip away

Excessive flash points beyond all reach
Solitary demands for all I'd like to keep
Let's take a ridе out, see what we can find
A valueless collеction of hopes and past desires. Desires. Desires. Desires

I never realised the lengths I'd have to go
All the darkest corners of a sense I didn't know
Just for one moment, I heard somebody call
Looked beyond the day at hand, there's nothing there at all

Now that I've realised how it's all gone wrong
Gotta find some therapy, this treatment takes too long
Deep in the heart of where sympathy held sway
Gotta find my destiny, before it gets too late. Too late. Too late. Too late

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
