Twenty-Four
Switchfoot

[Verse 1]

Twenty-four oceans

Twenty-four skies

Twenty-four failures

And twenty-four tries

Twenty-four finds me

In twenty-fourth place

With twenty-four dropouts

At the end of the day


[Pre-chorus]

Life is not what I thought it wa-a-as

Twenty-four hours ago

Still I'm singin'

Spirit take me up in arms with you

And I'm not who I thought I wa-a-as

Twenty-four hours ago

Still I'm singin'

Spirit take me up in arms with you


[Verse 2]

There's twenty-four reasons

To admit that I'm wrong

With all my excuses

Still twenty-four strong


[Hook]

But see I'm not copping out

Not copping out

Not copping ou-ou-ou-out

When you're raising the dead in me


[Chorus]

O-o-oh o-o-oh

I am the second man

O-o-oh o-o-oh

I am the second man now-ow-ow

O-o-oh

I am the second man now

And you're raising


[Verse 3]

These twenty-four horses

With twenty-four hearts

Yeah all of my symphonies

In twenty-four parts


[Pre-chorus]

But I wanna be one today

Centered and true

I'm singin'

Spirit take me up in arms with you

You're raising the dead in me


[Chorus]

O-o-oh o-o-oh

I am the second man

O-o-oh o-o-oh

I am the second man now-ow-ow

O-o-oh

I am the second man now

And you're raising the dead in me...

Yeah...

Yeah-eah-eah


[Verse 4]

I wanna see miracles

To see the world change

To wrestle the angel

For more than a name


[Pre-chorus]

For more than a feeling

For more than a cause

I'm singin'

Spirit take me up in arms with you

(And you're raising the dead in me)


[Outro]

Twenty-four horses

(O-o-oh o-o-oh I am the second man)

With twenty-four hearts

(O-o-oh o-o-oh I am the second man now-ow-ow)

And all of my symphonies

(O-o-oh I am the second man now)

With twenty-four parts

(And you're raising the dead in me)

Life is not what I thought it was

(O-o-oh o-o-oh I am the second man)

Twenty-four hours ago

(O-o-oh o-o-oh I am the second man now-ow-ow)

Still I'm singin' spirit take me up in arms...

(O-o-oh I am the second man now and you're raising the dead in me)

And I'm not copping out

(O-o-oh o-o-oh I am the second man)

Not copping out

(O-o-oh o-o-oh I am the second man now-ow-ow)

No-ot I'm not copping out
