Tell me how long till I feel fine

Tell me how long till this feels right

Tell me how old I'll have to be

Tell me if I'll reach there at all

Tell me how long till I feel fine

Tell me how long till this feels right

Tell me how old I'll have to be

Tell me if I'll reach there at all

Tell me the truth, tell me the truth, tell me the truth

Will I reach there at all?

Tell me the truth, tell me the truth, tell me the truth

Tell me the truth, tell me the truth,

Please, I'm begging you. Tell me the truth

I've been living on this boat

With Swiss cheese holes

I've worked every day

To keep the ocean out

He's a petulant child

That I can't lay my hands-on

There are consequences

The stares will tear me in two

But that seems the only option

I've got to look out for my crew

They've got families to return to

I've got to tread with care

So tell me the truth

Please, I'm begging you, tell me the truth

Tell me how long till I feel fine

Tell me how long till this feels right

Tell me how old I'll have to be

Tell me if I'll reach there at all
