If I could walk a straight mile

And 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 them 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

Ri said sugar, gram said shoot

Her mom 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  you

Your lucky star can turn you 'round

Your lucky star will burn out

Your lucky star can turn you 'round
