Song lyrics
Been given 24 hours 
to tie up loose ends 
to make amends
His eyes said it all 
I started to fall 
and the silence deafened
Head spinning round 
no time to sit down 
just wanted to 
run and run and run
Be careful they say 
don’t wish life away, 
now I’ve one day

And I can’t believe
How I’ve been wasting my time

In 24 hours they’ll be 
laying flowers 
on my life, it’s over tonight
I’m not messing no I 
need your blessing
and your promise to live free
please do it for me

Is there a heaven a hell 
and will I come back 
who can tell
Now I can see 
what matters to me 
it’s as clear as crystal
The places I’ve been
the people I’ve seen
plans that I made 
start to fade
The sun’s setting gold 
thought I would grow old, 
it wasn’t to be

And I can’t believe
How I’ve been wasting my time

In 18 hours they’ll be
laying flowers 
on my life, it’s over tonight
I’m not messing no I
need your blessing
and your promise to live free
please do it for me

In 13 hours they’ll be
laying flowers 
on my life, it’s over tonight
I’m not messing no I
need your blessing
and your promise to live free
Please do it for me

I’m not alone, I sense it, I sense it
All that I said, I meant it, I meant it

And I can’t believe
How much I’ve wasted my time

In just 8 hours they’ll be
laying flowers 
on my life, it’s over tonight
I’m not messing no I
need your blessing
and your promise to live free
please do it for me

In just 1 hour they’ll be
laying flowers 
on my life, it’s over tonight
I’m not messing no I
need your blessing
and your promise to live free
please do it for me

"They" and "24" are the only two songs I reeeally like on the CD. They're both pretty catchy, and I like 'em.

what this song is about is that the doctor told her that she was gonna die and then shes like its over and then she says dont be sad promise me that you'll be free not sad and then she counts down how many hours she has left so i think thats mostly what the song is about.

this song makes me sad lol i just cant help it i think about what if that happened 2 me or some1 i really luv anyways i luv this song the beat is tight and especially the lyrics.

I think this song is about someone who just found out that she only has 24 hours to live. She's thinking about all the things she has to do and all the mistakes she has to fix before she runs out of time. This is the theme song to the TV show "24." And it kicks ass, its so dramatic, I love it.

Well, I know the consensus is that a doc has told the girl she only has a day left to live...

But this is how the song struck me:

It strikes me that the girl has lost a relationship somehow with a guy she loved, hence the falling, deafness, and since the romance went sour, the desire to run. She's been given 24 hours by her own hand, and the reason I say that is in the chorus she says she needs someone's blessing, and it doesn't strike me that she would need someone's blessing to die unless she was dying of her own hand.

Just a different perspective. I love it the song, I heard it this morning and couldn't get it out of my head.

I love this song! It doesnt strike me as sad because the beat is so up!
I think the song is about some one who has been given 24 hours to live. Hence the laying flowers on my life. Also some one said something about the blessing, religious people need a blessing when they die. Its a way for their god letting them into heaven and basicly for a safe trip there and so forth. I believe this song could swing both ways. Some one dieing and someone who is getting over an relationship, but i believe it goes more for the dieing, just makes sense
This song is brilliant! I just hope she comes to Australia for a tour!

such a beautiful song.....sad in it's own tragedy of one dying and looking back on their life..knowing that they are going to die in 24 hours and hoping that all the choices they made in life were the right choices.

Oooh, this song`s pretty cool. Kinda got a mysterious feel. I like how it has string instruments and an electric guitar. Sounds like Evanescence a little. Anyways, luv the song. 3

I love this song!! It;s nt depressing, it just makes you look at yourself. The girl knew she had 24 hours left, but what about us?? We do not know when we are going to die, we do not know if this is the last day of our lives or not... and that makes you look at yourslf "what if i dont see the new day" and makes you live each day as though it's your last, tie up loose ends and make amends...

Hey,
This is a great Song, Me and my Band are trying to preform this song and we were wondering if someone could send us a list of the Instruments needed to play this song and the Tabs. ( I know the drum tab, its very easy.)

Thank you.
