Counting Stars Songtext
von OneRepublic

Lately, I′ve been, I've been losin′ sleep
Dreamin' about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I′ve been prayin′ hard
Said, "No more countin' dollars, we′ll be countin' stars
Yeah, we′ll be countin' stars"

I see this life like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
And 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 doin′ what we′re told

I feel something so right doing the wrong thing
And I feel something so wrong doing the right thing
I couldn't lie, couldn′t lie, couldn't lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive


Lately, I′ve been, I've been losin′ sleep
Dreamin' about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I′ve been prayin′ hard
Said, "No more countin' dollars, we′ll be countin' stars"

Lately, I′ve been, I've been losin′ sleep
Dreamin' about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I′ve been prayin′ hard
Said, "No more countin' dollars, we′ll be, we'll be countin′ stars"
Hey, yeah, yeah

I feel your 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
On just doin' what we′re told

And I feel something so wrong doing the right thing
I couldn′t lie, couldn't lie, couldn′t lie
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly


Lately, I've been, I′ve been losin' sleep
Dreamin′ about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been prayin′ hard
Said, "No more countin′ dollars, we'll be countin′ stars"

Lately, I've been, I′ve been losin' sleep
Dreamin′ about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been prayin′ hard
Said, "No more countin′ dollars, we'll be, we′ll be countin' stars"

Oh, take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I′ve learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I′ve learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

Lately, I've been, I′ve been losin′ sleep
Dreamin' about the things that we could be
But baby, I′ve been, I've been prayin′ hard
Said, "No more countin' dollars, we′ll be countin' stars"

Lately, I've been, I′ve been losin′ sleep
Dreamin' about the things that we could be
But baby, I′ve been, I've been prayin′ hard
Said, "No more countin' dollars, we′ll be, we'll be countin' stars"

Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I′ve learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I′ve learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I′ve learned
