Original Song | 24sec
- 6 years ago
Last night, I had another fake existential crisis (I’m beginning to realize I probably have a disproportionately high amount of those ), this time surrounding the intro of a particular song. It was a horrid song, but it took me approx 24sec to realize that. Because the intro sounded almost identical to a song that I love with my whole heart. But the terrible song preceded the wonderful song by about five years. I may or may not have fallen to the ground and screamed a little bit. (I did.)
Today, as I was hopping out of the shower, my brain just sang “24 seconds for a heartbreak!” and I was like...oh. So then I shuffled on over to a guitar and found out that it was musically a Boring Bob. But I let it come out anyway, because if you repress your terrible ideas, then they get stuck inside you and they don’t leave room for other stuff to come out. Plus, sometimes Bobs are A-okay.
Sometimes you wanna dress them up and make them interesting, but this song just wanted to stay a Bob. So I let it.

Lyrics:
days fly by
just stay on the gRind
one day you’ll find
what you’ve looked for all your life
years go by
rivers run dry
one day you’ll wind up
what you’ve workEd for all your life
24 years just to get right here
but i’m afraid it wasn’t worth the wait
‘cause just 24 hours have killed the flowers
and there’s no one more fickle than fAte
24 weeks without much sleep
you say you’re moving on now, to better things
you can spend years and years
trying to shake the pain
but it just takes
24 seconds for a heartbreak
to Love and lose
is not like you
but what can you do
when things are out of your hands?
from black and white
to black and blue
life Lessons learned through
high prices, high demands
24 years just to get right here
but i’m afraid It wasn’t worth the wait
‘cause just 24 hours have killed the flowers
and there’s no one more fickle than fate
24 weeks without much sleep
you say you’re moving on now, to better things
you can spend years and years
trying to shake the pain
but it just takes
24 seconds for a heartbreak
let's do it again
another lifetime spent
on Futile attempts
but we’ll do it anyway
headed fast
for a head-on crash
we know this can’t last
but we will always hopE for change
24 years just to get right here
i really hope that it was worth the wait
‘cause just 24 hours have killed the flowers
but there’s no one more fickle than fate
24 weeks without much sleep
i think i’m moving on now, to better things
you can spend years and years
trying to shake the pain
but it just takes
24 seconds for a heartbreak
24 seconds for a heartbreak
24 seconds for a heartbreak
