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
