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