Song Lyrics

Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
Baby, I've been, I've been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars we'll be counting stars
We'll be counting stars
Yeah, yeah oh

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
Doing the wrong thing
I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing, yeah
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

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

I feel the love and I feel it burn
Down this river every turn
Hope is our four letter word
Make that money watch 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

I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
'Cause everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly

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

Take that money watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I learned

Take that money watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I learned

Take that money watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I learned

Take that money watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I learned

I been, 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

Take that money watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I learned

Take that money watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I learned

Take that money watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I learned

Take that money watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I learned
