Killing Time

Indigo Girls

5

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-
