Lyrics

Twenty Four Hours (Peel Session)

So this is permanence, 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

Oh, how I realised how I wanted time

Put into perspective, tried so hard to find

Just for one moment, 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 ride out, see what we can find

A valueless collection of hopes and past 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 in 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
