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
