Counting Stars

Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been losing sleep

Dreaming about the things that we could be

But baby, I’ve been, I’ve been praying hard

Said, no more counting dollars

We’ll be counting stars

Yeah we’ll be counting stars



I see this life like a swinging vine

Swing my heart across the line

And my face is flashing signs

Seek it out and you shall find

Old, but I’m not that old

Young, but I’m not that bold

I don’t think the world is sold

I’m just doing what we’re told



I feel something so right

Doing the wrong thing

I feel something so wrong

Doing the right thing

I could lie, could lie, could lie

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive



Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been losing sleep

Dreaming about the things that we could be

But baby, I’ve been, I’ve been praying hard

Said, no more counting dollars

We’ll be counting stars



Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been losing sleep

Dreaming about the things that we could be

But baby, I’ve been, I’ve been praying hard

Said, no more counting dollars

We’ll be, we’ll be counting stars



I feel the love and I feel it burn

Down this river, every turn

Hope is a four-letter word

Make that money, watch it burn

Old, but I’m not that old

Young, but I’m not that bold

I don’t think the world is sold

I’m just doing what we’re told



I feel something so wrong

Doing the right thing

I could lie, could lie, could lie

Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly



Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been losing sleep

Dreaming about the things that we could be

But baby, I’ve been, I’ve been praying hard

Said, no more counting dollars

We’ll be counting stars



Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been losing sleep

Dreaming about the things that we could be

But baby, I’ve been, I’ve been praying hard

Said, no more counting dollars

We’ll be, we’ll be counting stars



Take that money, watch it burn

Sink in the river, the lessons are learnt

Take that money, watch it burn

Sink in the river, the lessons are learnt

Take that money, watch it burn

Sink in the river, the lessons are learnt

Take that money, watch it burn

Sink in the river, the lessons are learnt

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive



Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been losing sleep

Dreaming about the things that we could be

But baby, I’ve been, I’ve been praying hard

Said, no more counting dollars

We’ll be counting stars



Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been losing sleep

Dreaming about the things that we could be

But baby, I’ve been, I’ve been praying hard

Said, no more counting dollars

We’ll be, we’ll be, counting stars



Take that money, watch it burn

Sink in the river, the lessons are learnt

Take that money, watch it burn

Sink in the river, the lessons are learnt

Take that money, watch it burn

Sink in the river, the lessons are learnt

Take that money, watch it burn

Sink in the river, the lessons are learnt
