Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep

Dreaming about that things we could be

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

Said, no more counting dollars

We'll be counting stars, 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

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep

Dreaming about that things 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 that things 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 never meant to start a war

I just wanted you to let me in

And instead of using force

I guess I should've let you in

I never meant to start a war

I just wanted you to let me in

I guess I should've let you in

We clawed, we chained our hearts in vain

We jumped, never asking why

We kissed, I fell under your spell

A love no one could deny

Don't you ever say I just walked away

I will always want you

I can't live a lie, running for my life

I will always want you

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep

Dreaming about that things 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 that things 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

Sing 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 feel alive

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep

Dreaming about that things 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 that things 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

Lately, I've been, I've been praying hard

Said, no more counting dollars

We'll be, we'll be counting stars
