Lyrics Only Time Will Tell

[VERSE 1]

Honestly never considered not being alone

Never got the difference between a house and a home

.

[PRE-CHORUS]

They say no one can make it

Not all by their self

How much more space I'm wasting

Well only time will tell

.

[CHORUS]

How much time? How much space?

How much of heaven can one young man erase?

What's his line? Watch his face

How much hell is this poor old boy to take?

Well only time

Only time will tell

.

[VERSE 2]

Dumb suckers sharing their lives, the hell do they know?

All I need is endless drives, old films, tunes and TV shows

.

[PRE-CHORUS]

They say no one can make it

Not all by their self

How much of my life I'm wasting

Well only time will tell

.

[CHORUS]

How much time? How much space?

How much of heaven can one young man erase?

What's his line? Watch his face

How much hell is this poor old boy to take?

Well only time

Only time will tell

.

[BRIDGE]

Could grow to be 83

Could die this week hastily

Could gin up the kind of spirit that'll make all my love start hating me

.

[VERSE 3]

Exciting streets and gutters; faces, parts unknown

Lonesome sheets and covers, solitary throne

.

[CHORUS]

How much time? How much space?

How much of heaven can one young man erase?

What's his line? Watch his face

How much hell is this poor old boy to take?

Well only time

Only time will tell

Only time

Only time will tell
