Lyric

-

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

Dreaming 'bout the things that we could be

But baby I've been prayin' 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

I'm just doing what we're told

-

I, feel something so right

But doing the wrong thing

I, feel something so wrong

But doing the right thing

I could lie, could lie, could lie

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

-

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

Dreaming 'bout the things that we could be

Baby I've been, I've been prayin' hard

Said no more counting dollars

We'll be counting stars

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

Dreaming 'bout the things that we could be

Baby I've been, I've been prayin' 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

And I don't think the world is sold

I'm just doing what we're told

-

I, feel something so wrong

But doing the right thing

I could lie, could lie, could lie

Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly

-

Lately I've been losing sleep

Dreaming 'bout the things that we could be

Baby I've been, I've been prayin' hard

Said no more counting dollars

We'll be counting stars

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

Dreaming 'bout the things that we could be

Baby I've been, I've been prayin' hard

Said no more counting dollars

We'll be, we'll be counting stars

-

Take that money

And watch it burn

Sink in the river

The lessons I learnt

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

-

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

Dreaming 'bout the things that we could be

Baby I've been, I've been prayin' hard

Said no more counting dollars

We'll be counting stars

-

Take that money

And watch it burn

Sink in the river

The lessons I learnt

Take that money

And watch it burn

Sink in the river

The lessons I learnt

Take that money

And watch it burn

Sink in the river

The lessons I learnt

Take that money

And watch it burn

Sink in the river

The lessons I learnt
