If I could walk a straight mile
To 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'd shout 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 hadn't time to waste
Now it seems that I've gone 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 momma said shit, I don't know what she'll do
As if it's up to you
But I remember, you always said it could
be great
But I hadn't time to waste
Now it seems that you've gone 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
Your lucky star will burn out
Your lucky star can turn you 'round
Your lucky star will burn out
Your lucky star can turn you 'round
Turn you 'round, turn you 'round, turn you 'round
They're gonna turn you around
