24 Hours
The Noisettes Lyrics

I'm pulling my hair out
I am feeling extremely frustrated and agitated.

I can't get to sleep
I am finding it impossible to fall asleep.

The bed feels so empty
I feel lonely in bed without you.

I can still smell you on me
I can still vividly remember your presence on me, and it hurts.

A moment in space, the look on your face when I said "hello"
I remember the instant we first met, I still see your welcoming face when I greeted you.

You stagger to mine, you're still on my mind, why do I feel so low?
I am unable to stop thinking about you, wondering why I feel so depressed even though you are still on my mind.

It could have been forever but we'll never know 24 hours ago The night was all we had and then I had to go 24 hours ago We were lovers 24 hours ago
It seems like we missed our chance of being together, which makes me regretful of the night we spent together 24 hours ago that we can never go back to. We were lovers then, but not anymore.

Where did the summer go?
I am questioning where time has gone, as the summer season is almost over.

Everybody's fallen in love
It seems like everyone around me is in love, while I am feeling lost.

Hey, lover, I'm in limbo
I feel like I'm stuck in a state of uncertainty, and addressing my past lover directly.

I can still feel your touch
You left a significant mark on me, which I still feel vividly.

So look in my eyes and tell me you don't want to run away
I am asking you directly to confront our situation and reveal if you may want to leave.

I know I was bold, but life is too short to catch a heart so cold
I realise that I was being brave by risking it all with you, but it is not worth it if you are not willing to match the intensity of the emotions I share. It is not worth giving my heart to someone who is unwilling to do the same.

How do we conceal when life is not what it should be?
We are living a life that is not what we expected, and I am wondering how we are supposed to hide this feeling.

Life is not what it seems If you're fraying at the seams Don't let your heart fray
Sometimes life may seem perfect, but that may be far from the truth. If you're feeling lost, do not let your heart give in to the pressure and break apart.

I tell you we were lovers 24 hours ago 24 hours ago
I cannot help but emphasise the fact that we were in love just a day ago, and now things are dramatically different. This makes me feel nostalgic and heartbroken.
