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