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
And 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


Doing the wrong thing
And I feel something so wrong
Doing the right 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 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 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"

Yeah, yeah

I feel your 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


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 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
Everything 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
