If I could walk a straight mile
And write it down in shorthand I could show you
If you want me toAnd if I had an hourglass
I'd save the grains of time I spent with you
That's what I'd doBut I remember
You always said it could be great
And I knew it could beWell there's a way you look at things
That no one needs to know but you
And you shared them with meLike every time the leaves would fall
You promised me that they'd be back again
And I believed in youYou always said it could be great
But I hadn't time to waste
Now it seems that I've gone too farAs bright as you are
Don't get burned by your lucky star
Bright as you are
Don't get burned by your lucky starWritten down in hard bound books
The way things used to be they ain't for me
I'd swear they're all for youRi said sugar, gram said shoot
Her mom said shit I don't know what she'll do
As if it's up to youBut I remember you always said it could be great
But I hadn't time to waste
Now it seems that you've gone too farAs bright as you are
Don't get burned by your lucky star
Bright as you are
Don't get burned by your lucky starYour lucky star will burn you
Your lucky star can turn you 'round
Your lucky star will burn you
Your lucky star can turn you 'roundTurn you 'round
Turn you 'round
Turn you 'round
Yeah, yeah, yeah turn you 'round
