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