Lyrics: 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 playing hard,
Sitting, no more counting dollars

We’ll be, we’ll be, counting stars
I feel the love and I feel it burn
Down this river, every turn
Hope is a four-letter word

Make that money, watch it burn
Oh, but I’m not that old
Young, but I’m not that bold
I don’t think the world is sold

I’m just doing what we’re told
I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could 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 playing hard,

Sitting, 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 playing hard,
Sitting, no more counting dollars
We’ll be, we’ll be, counting stars
Take that money

Watch it burn
Sing in the river
The lessons are learnt
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sing in the river
The lessons are learnt
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sing in the river
The lessons are learnt
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sing in the river
The lessons are learnt

Everything that kills me makes 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 playing hard,

Sitting, 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 playing hard,
Sitting, no more counting dollars
We’ll be, we’ll be, counting stars
