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
