"24" lyrics

When did life turn into a chore?
Why doesn't heartbreak hurt anymore?
The weight of the world's been knockin' at my door
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, I'm feelin' twenty-four
I can't close my eyes and curl up on the floor
Hiding doesn't make time easier to ignore
There's no goin' back to how it was before
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, I'm feelin' twenty-four

Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, I'm feelin' twenty-four

Swear the skies used to be a little bluer
Now each day the sun sets a little sooner
Used to make a pillow fort in the livin' room, pretend that we were on the moon
Now all you do is punch a card and take a lunch in the afternoon
Minutes used to feel like hours, mm-mm
Don't mean to be a Debbie Downer, but

When did life turn into a chore?
Why doesn't heartbreak hurt anymore?
The weight of the world's been knockin' at my door
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, I'm feelin' twenty-four
I can't close my eyes and curl up on the floor
Hiding doesn't make time easier to ignore
There's no goin' back to how it was before
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, I'm feelin' twenty-four

I won't forget the times we danced all night (Oh, ooh-ooh)
Turn red in '89, we felt so alive
Twenty-two back then felt so far away (Oh, ooh-ooh)
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, it felt so far away

I can't close my eyes and curl up on the floor
Hiding doesn't make time easier to ignore
There's no goin' back to how it was before
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, I'm feelin' twenty-four

Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, I'm feelin' twenty-four
