24 Hours
New Rules Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We would spend all our days
Making time just to waste it away
Yeah those days went too fast
And the nights couldn't last
Did I tell you I need you too late?
Oh I, I miss all of our fights
And it's got me thinking how I
Let you slip through my hands
And I'm tryna understand how
I used to spend 24 hours with you
But now I'm lying in this empty room
Thinking 'bout all the little things that we'd do
If I had one more second with you
Heard you found someone new
But deep down you know the truth
Yeah you know that he can't hold you like I would do
So does he spend 24 hours with you?
While I'm lying in this empty room
Thinking of you
Are you thinking of me?
'Cause I just can't believe that
There's somebody better for you
If I called you up now
Would it change your mind somehow?
Won't you tell me the truth?
Oh I, I miss all of our fights
'Cause we make up all night
And it's got me thinking how I
Let you slip through my hands
And I'm tryna understand how
I used to spend 24 hours with you
But now I'm lyin' in this empty room
Thinking 'bout all the little things that we'd do
If I had one more second with you
Heard you found someone new
But deep down you know the truth
Yeah you know that he can't hold you like I would do
So does he spend 24 hours with you?
While I'm lying in this empty room
Thinking of you
Oh I, I miss all our fights
We make up all night
I used to spend 24 hours with you
But now I'm lying in this empty room
Thinking 'bout all the little things that we'd do
If I had one more second with you
Heard you found someone new
But deep down you know the truth
Yeah, you know that he can't hold you like I would do
So does he spend 24 hours with you?
While I'm lying in this empty room
Thinking of you
Oh no, thinking of you
While I'm lying in this empty room
Thinking of you
In "24 Hours," New Rules sings about missing someone and reminiscing about their past relationship. The singer describes spending late nights at their partner's place and wasting away their days together. However, time went by too quickly, and the singer couldn't hold onto their partner. They confess, "Did I tell you I need you too late?" The singer then expresses their regret for letting go of the relationship and missing the fights they used to have. They wonder if their ex-partner thinks of them too, and if they could have another chance together.
The chorus underscores the theme of missing someone and feeling regretful about losing them. The singer used to spend 24 hours with their partner, but now they're left in an empty room thinking about all the things they used to do together. They acknowledge that their partner has moved on and found someone new, but they still believe that their love was unique and better. The lyrics end with the singer still thinking of their ex-partner and hoping for another chance together.
Overall, "24 Hours" is about nostalgia and lost love. The lyrics depict the pain of losing someone you still love and regretting past mistakes. The chorus emphasizes the longing to have more time with the person you love and missing the little things that make a relationship special.
Line by Line Meaning
Late nights at your place
We used to stay up late at your home
We would spend all our days
We spent all our time together
Making time just to waste it away
We didn't have any particular thing to do, but we enjoyed spending time together
Yeah those days went too fast
The time we had together passed too quickly
And the nights couldn't last
We wish the nights could have been longer for us to stay together
Did I tell you I need you too late?
I realized I needed you, but I didn't tell you soon enough
Oh I, I miss all of our fights
I miss the arguments we had
'Cause we make up all night
Because we would spend time making up after our fights
And it's got me thinking how I
This makes me wonder
Let you slip through my hands
I allowed you to leave my life
And I'm tryna understand how
And I'm trying to understand why
I used to spend 24 hours with you
We used to be together all the time
But now I'm lying in this empty room
But now I'm alone in this room with nobody next to me
Thinking 'bout all the little things that we'd do
Remembering all the little things we did together
If I had one more second with you
If I had one more chance to be with you
Heard you found someone new
I heard that you have found someone else
But deep down you know the truth
But you know deep down that it's not the same as being with me
Yeah you know that he can't hold you like I would do
He can't give you the same comfort and love that I did
So does he spend 24 hours with you?
Is he with you all the time like I was?
Are you thinking of me?
Do you ever think about me?
'Cause I just can't believe that
Because I find it hard to believe that
There's somebody better for you
There's someone better than me for you
If I called you up now
If I were to call you right now
Would it change your mind somehow?
Would it make you reconsider being with me somehow?
Won't you tell me the truth?
Can't you just be honest and tell me how you really feel?
Oh no, thinking of you
Oh no, I'm still thinking about you
