One Republic - Counting Stars

[Chorus] 
Lately I been, I been losing sleep 
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars 
We'll be counting stars
Yeah, we'll be counting stars

[Verse 1]
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
At doing the wrong thing
I feel something so wrong 
At doing the right thing 
I could lie, could lie, could lie 
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive 

 
[Chorus]
Lately I been, I been losing sleep 
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars 
Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be 
But baby I been, I been prayin' hard 
Said no more counting dollars 
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

 [Verse 2]
 I feel the love 
And I feel it burn
Down this river every turn
Hope is a four letter word 
Make that moneyWatch 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

And I feel something so wrong
At doing the right thing 
I could lie, could lie, could lie 
Everything that downs me makes me wanna fly
 
[Chorus]
Lately I been, I been losing sleep 
Dreaming about the things that we could be 
But baby I been, I been prayin' hard 
Said no more counting dollars 
We'll be counting stars 
Lately I been, I been losing sleep 
Dreaming about the things that we could be 
But baby I been, I been prayin' hard 
Said no more counting dollars 
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

[Bridge 4x:]
Take that money 
Watch it burn 
Sink in the river 
The lessons I learned

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
 
[Chorus]
Lately I been, I been losing sleep 
Dreaming about the things that we could be 
But baby I been, I been prayin' hard 
Said no more counting dollars 
We'll be counting stars 
Lately I been, I been losing sleep 
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby I been, I been prayin' hard 
Said no more counting dollars 
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

[Bridge 4x:]
Take that money 
Watch it burn 
Sink in the river 
The lessons I learned
