Everything that kills me,
Makes me feel alive
I see this life, like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
In my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and ye shall find
Old, but I'm not that old.
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
I feel something so right
By doing the right thing.
I feel something so wrong
By doing the wrong thing.
I could lie, could lie, could lie.
Everything that kills me,
Makes me feel alive
Baby I been, I been losing sleep,
Dreaming about the things that we could be
Baby I been, I been prayin hard,
Said no more counting dollars,
We'll be counting stars
Baby I been, I been losing sleep,
Dreaming about the things that we could be.
And baby I been, I been prayin hard,
Said no more counting dollars,
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
I fell 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
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told.
I feel something so wrong
By doing the wrong thing.
I could lie, could lie, could lie.
Everything that drowns me,
Makes me wanna fly
Lately, I been, I been losing sleep,
Dreaming about the things that we could be.
But baby I been, I been prayin hard,
Said no more counting dollars,
We'll be counting stars
Lately, I been, I been losing sleep,
Dreaming about the things that we could be.
But baby I been, I been prayin hard,
Said no more counting dollars,
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
Take that money, watch it burn
Sing in the river the lessons I learned.
Take that money, watch it burn
Sing in the river the lessons I learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sing in the river the lessons I learned.
Take that money, watch it burn
Sing in the river the lessons I learned.
Everything that kills me,
Makes me feel alive
Baby I been, I been losing sleep,
Dreaming about the things that we could be.
And baby I been, I been prayin hard,
Said no more counting dollars,
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
Lately, I been, I been losing sleep,
Dreaming about the things that we could be.
But baby I been, I been prayin hard,
Said no more counting dollars,
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
Take that money, watch it burn
Sing in the river the lessons I learned.
Take that money, watch it burn
Sing in the river the lessons I learned.
Take that money, watch it burn
Sing in the river the lessons I learned.
Take that money, watch it burn
Sing in the river the lessons I learned.
