24 Hours Lyrics

24 hours
The lights go down in Baltimore
Blink your eyes, the sun is coming up
The radio
Is playing songs we shouldn't know
But never seems to be quite loud enough

The traffic lights, they match the backlit sky
Colors fade like the fourth of July
Maybe I'm not thinking right
Took one day to fall down beneath you
Just one dream to make this the real truth
Another kiss could bring this all into the light

And I don't want to be addicted
I just want to be that high
To see the northern lights in your eyes
Don't want the complication
I just want to know the truth
I want one more moment in you

7:30
There's no turning back from here
As the candlelight goes dancing your eyes
22 years
8 am seems late to me
Now I've lost all concept of time

The clock alarm's been going on for days
Why must I dream to see your face
Maybe I'm not thinking right
Took one day to fall down beneath you
Just one dream to make this the real truth
Another kiss could bring this all into the light

And I don't want to be addicted
I just want to be that high
To see the northern lights in your eyes
Don't want the complication
I just want to know the truth
I want one more moment in you

When it's hard enough to speak
When I can't breathe
And you're all I want to see

And I don't want to be addicted
I just want to be that high
To see the northern lights in your eyes
Don't want the complication
I just want to know the truth
I want one more moment in you

In you, in you

24 hours
The lights go up in Washington
And I'm waking up right next to heaven
