Lyrics for Twenty Four Hours

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, all I can't decide But just for one moment, thought I'd found my way Looked beyond the day in hand, I saw you 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 Oh how I realised how I wasted time Looked beyond the day in hand, to see what I could find Just for one moment, I thought I found my way All the reasons seem to align, I saw you fade away 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 Thank you Some slight problems
