| If I could walk a straight mile,
|
| I could write it down in shorthand, I could show you.
|
| If you want me to.
|
| And if I had an hourglass,
|
| I’d save the grains of time I spent with you
|
| That’s what I’d do.
|
| But I remember, you always said it could be great.
|
| And I knew It could be.
|
| Well there’s a way you look at things,
|
| That no one needs to know but you.
|
| And you shared it with me.
|
| Like every time the leaves would fall,
|
| You promised me that they’d be back again.
|
| And I believed in you.
|
| You always said it could be great.
|
| But I had no time too waste, now it seems that I’ve come too far.
|
| As bright as you are don’t get burned by your lucky star.
|
| Bright as you are don’t get burned by your lucky star.
|
| Written down in hard-bound books,
|
| The way things used to be, they ain’t for me.
|
| I’d swear they’re all for you.
|
| We said sugar, gramps said shoot,
|
| Her mom said shit, I don’t know what she’ll do.
|
| As if it’s up to you.
|
| As bright as you are don’t get burned by your lucky star.
|
| Bright as you are don’t get burned by your lucky star.
|
| Your lucky star will burn ya.
|
| Your lucky star will turn you 'round.
|
| They’re gonna turn you around |
