Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that 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
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
On just doing what we’re told

I feel something so right by doing the wrong thing
And I feel something so wrong by doing the right thing

I couldn’t lie, couldn’t lie, couldn’t lie
Every thing that kills me makes me feel alive

Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that 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 the things that 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 our 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
On just doing what we’re told

And I feel something so wrong by doing the right thing
I couldn’t lie, couldn’t lie, couldn’t lie
Every thing that drowns me makes me wanna fly

Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that 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 the things that 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

Oh, take that money watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I’ve learned
Take that money watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I’ve learned
Take that money watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I’ve learned
Take that money watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I’ve learned

Every thing that kills me makes me feel alive

Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that 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 the things that 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 I’ve learned
Take that money watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I’ve learned
Take that money watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I’ve learned
Take that money watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I’ve learned
