24 Hours
Yasmin Green Lyrics

24 hours ago
In the past, exactly one day before the present

I was just sitting home, me and my phone
I was at home, by myself, using my phone

Got a text from my friend
Received a text message from a friend

Telling me come out to this party
Inviting me to go to a party

Told myself what the hell, ordered a car
Decided spontaneously to go, requested a ride-hailing service

Pulled up, walked in straight to the bar
Arrived at the party, immediately went to the bar area

Ordered a shot, ordered one more
Drank two shots of alcohol in a row

Looked to my left and there you were
Saw a person, who turned out to be significant, on my left side

Baby I didn't know that I can't live without you
My feelings changed quickly and greatly for the person in question

I wasn't looking for this
I was not expecting to meet this person or to feel this way

Never thought that one kiss, could change all that I know
I had no idea that a single kiss could have such a tremendous effect on my life

I don't know why you said hi
Uncertainty about why the significant person initiated the conversation

Wishing I didn't say I'm doing fine
Regretting the decision to respond positively instead of sharing true thoughts or feelings

How are you, what's your name
Typical small talk questions when meeting someone new

Where you from, what are you drinking
Additional common small talk questions at a party

Yeah I don't know where the time went
Uncertainty about the quick passage of time

Going and going we started at 10
The party started at 10 pm and it continued without stopping

But in my defense, they played Prince
A justification for getting swept up in the moment and not realizing the time

Lost control and I just leaned in
Started acting on my exaggerated feelings for the significant person

24 hours ago, I didn't know you
The significant person was a stranger to me until one day ago

24 hours ago, I didn't need you
I did not have strong feelings of need or longing for the significant person until one day ago

24 hours ago
Returning to the refrain of the song, emphasizing the short time period that brought change

I never kissed you
The significant person and I had not yet kissed one day ago

I didn't miss you
I did not have feelings of missing the significant person until one day ago

Oh yeah
An interjection expressing excitement or agreement

24 hours ago, 24, 24
More repetition of the refrain, underscoring the significance of the past day
