Jem - 24 Lyrics

Been given 24 hours to tie up loose ends to make amends
His eyes said it all, I started to fall
And the silence deafened head spinning round, no time to sit down
Just wanted to run and run and run
Be careful, they say don't wish life away, now I've one day

And I can't believe, how I've been wasting my time

In 24 hours, they'll be laying flowers on my life
It's over tonight, I'm not messing, no, I need your blessing
And your promise to live free, please do it for me

Is there a heaven, a hell and will I come back who can tell
Now I can see what matters to me
It's as clear as crystal, the places I've been, the people I've seen
Plans that I made start to fade
The sun's setting gold, thought I would grow old, it wasn't to be

And I can't believe, how I've been wasting my time

In 18 hours, they'll be laying flowers on my life
It's over tonight, I'm not messing, no, I need your blessing
And your promise to live free, please do it for me

In 13 hours, they'll be laying flowers on my life
It's over tonight, I'm not messing, no, I need your blessing
And your promise to live free, please do it for me

I'm not alone, I sense it, I sense it
All that I said, I meant it, I meant it

And I can't believe, how much I've wasted my time

In just 8 hours, they'll be laying flowers on my life
It's over tonight, I'm not messing, no, I need your blessing
And your promise to live free, please do it for me

In just 1 hour, they'll be laying flowers on my life
It's over tonight, I'm not messing, no, I need your blessing
And your promise to live free, please do it for me
