​

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
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 I I I feel something so right

By doing the wrong thing
And I feel something so wrong

By doing the right thing

I could lie, couldn't I, couldn't I?
Every thing that kills me makes me feel alive.

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 counting stars

​

Oh, take that money watch it burn,

Sink in the river the lessons I've learned  

Ye-e-yeah ....
I feel her love
And I feel it burn down this river every time

Hope is our four-letter word 

Make that money, watch it burn  [repeat]

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 by doing the right thing
I could lie, couldn't I, couldn't I?
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
Baby I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars

We'll be counting stars

Oh, take that money watch it burn,
Sink in the river the lessons I learned  [repeat]

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

Baby I've been, I've been praying hard

Said no more counting dollars

We'll be counting

We'll be counting

Stars
