Twenty Four Seven
Twenty Four Seven: Love's Prison Break
Lyrics
Some folks say there's a price on love
Some people believe there is a cost associated with love
Watch your freedom go, watch your freedom go
Loss of freedom is a consequence, emphasized through repetition
Just can't breathe with your head in the glove
Feeling suffocated, unable to breathe while emotionally invested
Watch your freedom go, baby, I don't know
Reiterating the potential loss of freedom in love, expressing uncertainty
But how can they mean it?
Questioning the sincerity of others' statements about love
How come they give it up?
Wondering why people easily give up on love
How long until they see
Questioning the time it takes for people to understand modern rules of love
The modern laws of lovin' don't apply to me?
Asserting that conventional laws of love don't apply personally
Twenty Four Seven, stay here with me
Desiring a constant, unending love 24/7
Twenty Four Seven, throw away the key
Expressing a willingness to commit to love without reservations
Twenty Four Seven, I don't wanna be free
Rejecting the idea of being free, preferring a committed relationship
You get by if you kiss and tell
Suggesting that discretion is necessary in love relationships
Hear the people say, hear the people say
Listening to societal opinions about love but not conforming
Two strong hearts gotta share one cell
Two strong hearts being together despite societal disapproval
Hear the people say but it ain't my way
Rejecting societal norms in love
How can they mean it? (They mean it)
Repeating the skepticism about others' sincerity in love
How come they add it up? (They add it up)
Questioning how others calculate or measure love
I'll give my heart and my soul
Expressing a willingness to give heart and soul in love
If loving you is prison I don't need parole
Comparing love to a prison but indicating a lack of desire for parole
Twenty four seven, stay here with me
Reiterating the desire for continuous love 24/7
Twenty four seven, throw away the key
Symbolically locking love by throwing away the key
Twenty four seven, I don't wanna be free, free, free
Rejecting the idea of being free in love, emphasizing freedom
Twenty four seven, around the clock
Emphasizing continuous love around the clock
Twenty four seven, I never want it to stop
Expressing a desire for love to never end
Twenty four seven, mm, here with me
Reiterating the desire for a constant presence in love
Gonna count the time
Counting the time until the speaker possesses the love
That you're gonna be mine
Stating the intention to have the person as a constant companion
Seven days a week
Emphasizing the desire for love every day of the week
Twenty four hours ain't enough for me
Expressing that 24 hours a day is not enough for the speaker's love
How can they mean it? (They mean it)
Repeating skepticism about others' sincerity in love
How come they add it up? (They add it up)
Reiterating the questioning of how others measure or understand love
I'm gonna give my heart and my soul
Reaffirming the willingness to give everything in love
If loving you is prison I don't need parole
Repeating the idea that love is like a prison but rejecting parole
Twenty four seven, stay here with me
Reiterating the desire for continuous love 24/7
Twenty four seven, throw away the key
Symbolically sealing the commitment by throwing away the key
Twenty four seven, I don't wanna be free, free, free
Rejecting the idea of freedom, emphasizing commitment
Twenty four seven, stay here with me, with me
Reiterating the desire for a constant presence in love
Twenty four seven, throw away the key, the key
Symbolizing commitment by discarding the key
Twenty four seven, I wanna twenty four seven with you, you, you, you
Expressing the desire for non-stop love 24/7
Twenty four seven, non-stop love
Reiterating the continuous nature of the desired love
Twenty four seven
Emphasizing the idea of non-stop love
Twenty four seven
Repeating the desire for love 24/7
I wanna twenty four seven
Expressing the strong desire for continuous love
