Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
We'll be counting stars
Said no more counting dollars
Dreaming about the things that we could be
Yeah, we'll be counting stars
But baby I've been, I've been praying hard
 
Seek it out and you shall find
I see this life
Old, but I'm not that old
Like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
Young, but I'm not that bold
In my face's flashing sun
 
But doing the right thing
I'm just doing what we're told
I could lie, could lie, could lie
But doing the wrong thing
I feel something so wrong
I feel something so right
And I don't think the world is sold
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
 
Dreaming about the things that we could be
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
But baby I've been, I've been praying hard
 
Dreaming about the things that we could be
Baby I've been, I've been praying hard
Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
 
And I feel it burn
I feel the love
Watch it burn
Old, but I'm not that old
Take that money
Hope is a four letter word
Down this river every turn
Young, but I'm not that bold
 
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly
And I feel something so wrong
But doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
I'm just doing what we're told
And I don't think the world is sold
 
We'll be counting stars
But baby I've been, I've been praying hard
Dreaming about the things that we could be
Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Said no more counting dollars
 
Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Baby I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars
Dreaming about the things that we could be
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
 
Sink in the river the lessons I learned
Sink in the river the lessons I learned
Take that money and watch it burn
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
Take that money and watch it burn
Take that money and watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I learned
Sink in the river the lessons I learned
Take that money and watch it burn
 
But baby I've been, I've been praying hard
Dreaming about the things that we could be
We'll be counting stars
Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Said no more counting dollars
 
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
Baby I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars
 
Sink in the river the lessons I learned
Sink in the river the lessons I learned
Take that money and watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I learned
Sink in the river the lessons I learned
Take that money and watch it burn
Take that money and watch it burn
Take that money and watch it burn
