Revision as of 13:56, 21 June 2020

"24" (also registered as "Twenty-Four Hours")[1] is a song written by Lana Del Rey and Rick Nowels that is featured on Del Rey's third major-label full-length album, Honeymoon.

Background

There has been some speculation that "24" was originally intended to be Del Rey's song for the twenty-fourth James Bond film, Spectre. She had previously been rumored to have been considered for the theme.[2]

Michael Dolce of The Inquisitr suggests that, when and if Del Rey was passed over in favor of Sam Smith, "[24] ended up as one of the final tracks on Honeymoon."[3]

Lyrics

There's only 24 hours in a day
And half as many ways
for you to lie to me
My little love

There's only 24 hours in a day
And half of those you lay awake
with thoughts of murder and carnage

If you lie down with dogs
Then you'll get fleas
Be careful of the company you keep

There's only 24 hours
and that’s not enough
to lie like you lie or
love like you love

There's only 24 hours in a day
And half of those you lay
Between the sheets with me, my lying love
There's only 24 hours, so you'd say
For most of them you pay
For all the things they paid you for, my love

If you lie down with dogs
Then you'll get fleas
Be careful of
the ones you choose to leave

There's only 24 hours
and that’s not enough
to lie like you lie or
love like you love

Give me your heat
Give me your diamonds
You hit that street
And my crooked love
You count to three
While they're all dying
You're hard to reach
You're cold to touch
