[Verse 1]

Been given twenty-four 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 twenty-four 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

[Instrumental Break]

[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]

In eighteen 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

Thirteen 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]

In just eight 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 one 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
