The Wasn't Me's - 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
