Who is counting sleepless nights?
Who is counting letters I meant to write?
Who is counting at all?
If you are, I look pretty small
-chorus-
But no matter what I do
If I couldn't be call you mine
If I couldn't be with you
I'd just be killing time
You went searching for me in the night sky
And when I burned away, you wondered why
Well, I'll tell you, babe, I could not bear to stall
I fell too fast, I fell too far
-chorus-
Big, big fishes in little ponds
I've seen them walk around with magic wands
-chorus-
There ain't no magician hidden inside of me
So no matter what you hear, I hope you see
That just when I'm trying to be tall
That's when I end up looking pretty small
-chorus-
No matter what I do
(And you know I will burn)
If I couldn't be call you mine
(Like a star in the sky)
If I couldn't be with you
(All I'd be doing is)
I'd just be killing time
-chorus-
