24 Lyrics by Dead Emerson

2020

[Verse 1]
You wanted that fast life
No frills 'til the back nine
Didn't take too long
But you knew all along
One day you'd get there
So glad you could make it
But tell me what went wrong?
Did you think about what's on the other side?

[Verse 2]
I used to be so damn old
Never been this young before
When I feared what I'm afraid of
Staring it right in the face
The next few years till the grave
Or in other words, 24

[Chorus]
Who knew the dark and scary would be so ordinary?
Who knew the dark and scary would be so ordinary?

[Verse 3]
You wanted that freedom
Weekdays like the weekend
Won't breathe 'til the finish line
Thought it's only 40 meters
But life's a marathon race and you can't see the leader
Oh, and by the way
You just can't break that ball and chain
It's keeping you afloat
Should've took some time before the gun smoke

[Verse 4]
So just keep your head down
Keep both your feet on the ground
Run with the people around
Feel better now?

[Outro}
Who knew the dark and scary would be so ordinary?
Who knew the dark and scary would be so ordinary?
It just might take a whole life before you take a bow
So good luck, kid
I hope you see it was worth it
Oh I hope one day it was worth it
