I spend all this time with my eyes closed
In a world that's much easier to bear
When risks fall like the shadows on my eyelids
Courage can take me anywhere
Babe, when I'm a big star
None of this will matter
Babe, when I'm a big star
No more dreams will shatter
I'll pick up all the pieces
And I'll bring them back to you
Put them on a record
Like we always dreamed I'd do
Baby, when I am a big star
One day I'm gonna fill this notebook
One day I'll have nothing left to say
Left to contemplate this sad existence
Like an actor in an existential play
Babe, when I'm a big star
None of this will matter
Babe, when I'm a big star
No more dreams will shatter
I'll pick up all the pieces
And I'll bring them back to you
Put them on a record
Like we always dreamed I'd do
Baby, when I am a big star
