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 you   Your lucky star can turn you 'round      Turn you 'round   Turn you 'round   Turn you 'round   Yeah, yeah, yeah turn you 'round
