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, 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 wrong
Doing the right thing
I feel something so right
Doing the wrong thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
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 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 couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly
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
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 drowns me makes me wanna fly
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
