24 Lyrics by Jem

Finally Woken (20th Anniversary Remastered Edition)

2004

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't believe
How I've been wasting my time

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't believe
How I've been wasting my time

[Chorus 2]
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

[Chorus 3]
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

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

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't believe
How much I've wasted my time

[Chorus 4]
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

[Chorus 5]
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
