Who is counting sleepless nights
Who is counting letters i meant to write
I said who is counting at all
If you are
I look pretty small

But no matter what i do
If i couldn't 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

But no matter what i do
If i couldn't call you mine
If i couldn't be with you
I'd just be killing time

Big big fishes in little ponds
I've seen them walk around with magic wands

But no matter what i do
If i couldn't call you mine
If i couldn't be with you
I'd just be killing time

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

But no matter what i do
If i couldn't call you mine
If i couldn't be with you
I'd just be killing time

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

But no matter what i do
If i couldn't call you mine
If i couldn't be with you
