24 Lyrics

So here I am, at your flat in the early morning

The streetlights go out as the sun chases away the night

And I call but no one answers, dull chiming through the windows

The same old ringtone, the same old place

I'm afraid I won't recognise your face

Time flew so fast for both of us my friend

I reached a new start I thought was the end

Now we're twenty-four

And I won't ask for more

Just take me back to that shore

With the wind's safe hands around our voices

We poured wine from boxes and secrets from hearts

The tide washed away your freckles and worries

And those words that I wished you held in your mind

Now you're back in Wales and I'm stuck in town

I'm a coward and you left me behind

Time flew so fast for both of us my friend

You're right at the start, I reached a new end

Now we're twenty-four

And I won't ask for more

Just take me back to that shore

The night we sat around the campfire

The way you looked at me and smiled

Oh, how I wished I could hold you and never let go

I swear one day we'll make it alright

Time flew so fast for both of us my friend

Guess coming to terms is never the end

Now we're twenty-four

And I won't ask for more

Just take me back to that shore

That shore

Just take me back to that shore
